I don't claim to be a writer
yet writing is what I do
when there is no other find
where there is my point of view
When the need is taking over
When I seem to lose my sleep
When there's nothing to hold on to
and I seem to sink too deep
If my pen, against all odds,
can come up with something new
there is nothing like that time
for me to tell the truth.
I don't claim to be a writer
but writing is what I do.
