I write when I'm feeling elated
I write when I'm feeling sad,
My poems are all thoughts I've created
Some may be good and some bad;
Some people like to accuse me
Of living inside of my head,
Well, I've lived in places less friendly
And too many words I have said;
I may have stepped over the boundary
Of walls that I shouldn't have climbed
But when there's an issue to ponder
I just have to put it to rhyme;
I hope that my words have some impact
At least in a positive way,
As long as the people keep reading
I'll keep finding something to say!
