I Write..... By: My Mother....Makeda Brown

I WRITE TO KEEP MY DREAMS ALIVE, MY FEARS ASIDE, AND MY FAITH ON FIRE

I WRITE TO REMEMBER THE PAST TO MAKE HOPE LAST AND TO QUENCH MY DESIRES

I WRITE TO FOLLOW MY HEART, TO KNOW WHERE TO START AND TO KNOW WHERE I'M GOING

I WRITE TO BELIEVE IN MY DESTINY

TO UNDERSTAND MY HISTORY AND...

TO LIVE ETERNALLY.

I WRITE TO GIVE OF MY SOUL, TO KNOW WHERE TO GO, AND TO HOPE THAT I GET THERE

I WRITE TO TOUCH PARTS OF YOU THAT YOU REALLY NEVER KNEW NEEDED MY ATTENTION

I WRITE TO FULLFILL MY PURPOSE, EXPLORE MY HEART AND ENLIGHTEN MY SPIRIT.

I WRITE TO ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD

TO NEVER LOOK BACK AT THE...

THINGS THAT I DID THAT GOT ME OFF TRACK

I WRITE TO EXPRESS MY PAIN AND HAPPINESS, TO FOREVER BE ETCHED IN TIME

AND TO KNOW THAT ALL I WANT TO HAVE CAN AND WILL BE MINE

I WRITE FOR A FUTURE THAT IS STILL TO COME, FOR THE BROKEN AND UNDEFEATED

THE OLD...AND

THE YOUNG

I WRITE FOR MY TRIUMPHS, I WRITE FOR MY PAINS

I WRITE WHEN THE SKY CLEANSES ME WITH ITS RAINS

I WRITE FOR MY SANITY... AND MAYBE YOURS TOO

AND I'LL CONTINUE TO WRITE FOR ME...

AND FOR YOU.
