Why I Write...

Why I Write...

Lbena T-Michael 

I write in retrospect.

I write in similes and metaphors.

I write with the hope

of better understanding the mind and body

that moves this pen.

I write to avoid oversharing

and self destruction.

I write in the future

where each word unfolds like a prophecy.

I write to erase the past from occupying

my wealthy and abundant present.

I write in the present to prove my existence.
