Why do I write

Why do I write

I know:
I am playing soft balls
writing inspirational poems
and life changing
poetries.

but
even though I do not
understand your pain,
even though I do not
share your pain,
even though I never
felt what you feel

I am writing
I am writing for you
I am writing for me

I
am
writing

for if tomorrow
I fall,
I know
in my spirit,
I would like to rise

I would look for
that log
to wrap around
and pull myself up
from falling
(deep)
into the sea.

I would like to be reminded:
that no matter
how many years pass,
no matter
how the situation turns

the beauty of life
lies in the little things

we do
to make ourselves
and others happy
