I don’t need a reason to write

We writers write because we don’t know how to express it

I personally write because I am an inferior

I don’t have courage to stand up and speak

I express my everything in black to my special in white ( black refers to ink and white refers to writing sheet )

I know how to cry but I don’t know how to control

My friend , my pen, my sheet

My only one in my worse time !

Noone knows to handle my mood swings

As my sheet knows.

Just need a shady tree

Sunlight falling on my face

And so more I fall for writing.

I make my everything a reason to write,

Because no one knows , what’s going inside.

I just love to write .

Thank you so much for sharing your poem with me. I am touched by your insight into why you write and your ability to share those feelings through your writing. As I tell many of the poets I’ve worked with over the years, poetry requires imagery – it requires that you show us by using your five senses and the power of the image, what your feeling and what you want us to feel. Telling us, speaks more to a narrative than a poem. For example:

My friend , my pen, my sheet

My only one in my worse time !

Suppose you find an image to replace the word “sheet” – maybe it’s your “sword” your Light in darkness” your shelter from the storm” and, “My only one in worse time” could be an image – the warmth of sunlight after a storm” – “solid ground beneath my feet” – rain nourishing my parched soul…” Find a way to engage us through imagery and you will have a very powerful poem. Your friend in poetry, Susan
