I was asked this question yesterday
There was an ill feeling that came when it was asked that way
Why do you write of such things as death and destruction?
Do you so dislike life and brilliant construction?

The way you write so fondly of death is a disgrace
Do you not understand to me it is a slap in the face?
I wish I had never been introduced to your writing
I think all you are concerned with is death and fighting

I replied back as quickly as I could speak
If you take the time to read you will find the answers you seek
I write of love and life with the same passion as death
I will continue to do so with each remaining breath

To understand anything about me you must take the time to read
You will see though I can be hard as titanium, my heart still can bleed
My writes are not always meant to heal me or my soul
Trying to get the message to them is my goal

Why do You Write Anyway?

I was asked this question yesterday
There was an ill feeling that came when it was asked that way
Why do you write of such things as death and destruction?
Do you so dislike life and brilliant construction?

The way you write so fondly of death is a disgrace
Do you not understand to me it is a slap in the face?
I wish I had never been introduced to your writing
I think all you are concerned with is death and fighting

I replied back as quickly as I could speak
If you take the time to read you will find the answers you seek
I write of love and life with the same passion as death
I will continue to do so with each remaining breath

To understand anything about me you must take the time to read
You will see though I can be hard as titanium, my heart still can bleed
My writes are not always meant to heal me or my soul
Trying to get the message to them is my goal
