Why am I a writer?

What would I do if not write?
What would I do with all the insights,
result of my analyses – such delights?

What would I do if not write?
What else could give me such respite
from loneliness wrapped around me tight?

A life of peace is not my cup of tea
My mind is akin to a roiling sea.
I prosper in thoughts, if not money
I do get the bees, if not the honey.

How could I survive if I do not write?
That’s how my left brain talks to my right!

  7. Your poem gave me something to think about. And being a writer (oh, we all are), I relate to it so well. And I loved the rhymes, as well. Good job!
