And So I Write

Right now I feel up
At times I feel down
Some days I feel blue
And then I'm all smiles
Sometimes I'm torn between
What is wrong and
What feels right
In the midst of it all
I'm inspired to write
Most days I see hope
My soul is at peace
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed
With sadness and grief
When I'm feeling attacked
And have a need to fight
Instead of throwing stones
I sit down and I write
Some days I may sing
Because I feel so high
The sky is my limit
And I reach for the sky
No one can touch me
I have control of my life
I'm bold and confident
In everything that I write
As fast as it comes
That's how fast it will go
I hold it together
So no one will know
I'm surrounded by friends
But at the end of the night
I still feel alone
So I sit down and I write
I figure things out
And fight with myself
Unresolved issues
I place on the shelf
I need to loosen up
I'm way too uptight
To gather my thoughts
I take time and I write
In love and in war
I feel most confused
At times I feel cherished
Other times I feel used
I want the real thing
To be held late at night
I long for those moments
So I fantasize as I write
I want to be free
No more bondage or chains
Content with myself
I'd like to remain
When the world is unfair
I display my dislikes
I get so discouraged
And that's when I write
I know there's a plan
With my heart I believe
Bless me with wisdom
So I can receive
I deserve all the blessings
I'll get them despite
Roadblocks and speed bumps
I'll continue to write
