Why do I write each day?
To share my thoughts
To bring you back my way?
No, it's not as you think
There are other links
Than assumptions you make
I know I have what it takes
To be my own roommate
To defy buffeting winds
To soar above thundering clouds
These musings are all my own
Self-directed, self-owned
A litany, perhaps, oft repeated
Teaching me the art
Of dealing with pain
No more, no less
Not to glorify, nor redress
Confessions of the soul
Coming to terms with new and old
Loves, losses, ardours, mundane
Rolled into words, de-stressing strain.
