Poem / Why do I write?

Why do I write?

enter image description here

A lyric without meaning
Is like a guy who stopped dreaming
Keeping my words fresh
Saves me from emotional death

A pen and a paper
A keyboard with functioning keys
And regular screen
Is all that I need

Once I start writing or typing
Everything just comes out
Be it love, be hate
These words are the ones I'd like to shout

There's no doubt about it
I never knew I could write
It started with a poem in one of my classes
We were told to write about WW II's ashes

From there it continued on
I've had people ask me to put it in song
I love writing these poems
They make me feel home
They allow me to vent
They allow me to think
They allow my to plan
They allow me to walk on emotional dry land

These poems are like float
They keep my mind from sinking like a hole filled boat
These poems are saving grace
These poems have shaped my face
These poems give me some meaning
These poems are my life
These poems are all my feelings
And one day I'll read 'em to my wife

Ethan, I really loved this one because it said a lot about you and how your passion grew from a WWII 's ashes. I also loved that you used your poems to vent and express. That is beautiful because you were writing about real feelings, real pains, real you. The best words are from the heart and inner being. Your can't fake it. Keep writing because you have a gift and you need to allow that gift to grow. Best of all you have that element of hope for the future.

By the way, you love Japanese anime. Have you ever been to Japan? Maybe in the future if they ever have a Steemfest in Japan, you can go. I went about two years ago and had an amazing time. Even for my age, I love anime! I really enjoy it a lot.

You wanted me to let you know about my posts. I just did one late last night so here is the site: https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@cabbagepatch/autism-and-neuroplasticity-a-new-hope. I'm not sure if you will like it but I've written about Neuroplasticity a new advancement in medical research where they found that the brain can actually recreate itself. It is fascinating news. Please take care!.....Cabbagepatch!

I would love to go do anything in Japan :D I will go and indulge in your writing :)

You have a gift
