Why Should I Write?

By Dennis Silas, Army

Writing Type: Poem

By Dennis Silas

VA Medical Facility—Danville, IL

 

Why should I write?

To impress my self-esteem
Or be the best of the best.
Why should I write?
When that feeling comes along,
I am like a junkie needing a fix.
I have to write to make my physical
And mental stability whole.
I use my pen or pencil
Whichever one is available.
Then I commence to put poetry in motion.
