I Do Not Write For Fame
I do not write for fame...
I write to be read...
for the sake of expression...
I care not what you think of me...
I care only that my words reach, making someone's day just a little brighter...
I write because my words love me, they will never fail me...
my fingers become stiff from no wordly expression...
I write when the moon is full, when she calls on me...
I write because I am misunderstood...
people die everyday from bombs in Iraq...
and the war will not end anytime soon...
I write because it is easier done than said...
I have dug my own grave, with no way of covering the hole...
I write when the sun reaches me again...
it is hard not to be blinded....
I write simple because it is all I have left in this world.
(c)Tameron Brathwaite
