I Write Poem by Faith Elizabeth Brigham

i write because
i reside in
a world of words
cut from
a different cloth
i view life
through a
poet's eyes

i'm a seer
a seeker of
beauty and truth
i have something
to say and
i am driven
to say it

i write
because writing
is in my blood
and i can not
not write
it's such a
part of me

i write
about raw reality
and the things
i see aren't
always pretty
writing as though
my very life
depends on it
and some days it
is the total truth
