I Write Because I Can Poem by Dianna Nally

People ask me all the time
why I write so much
I keep a pen and paper with me
in case I get ideas and such

I never know when a poem may come
to me, no matter what the time
I will write any chance I get
And I usually write in rhyme

Maybe that seem strange to some
But that's just the way I am
I write poetry lying in bed
and any where else I can

My writing isn't always meant
for everyone to read
Sometimes I just write about
my trying times and needs

If my writing bothers you so much
Well, maybe you should turn your head
Go do the things that interest you
Or is it time to take your meds

I am who I am and that is
the way I will always be
Maybe if you read a few poems
you would see the things I see
