I Write

I write when I’m excited And have things I want to share I write when I’m frustrated And of things I do despair

I write when I am happy About things that bring me joy I write when I feel snappy Rather than let words destroy

I write things that are funny That will hopefully amuse I write when life is sunny Trying others to enthuse

I write to give expression To feelings that are inside I write what my impression Is, of things that others hide

I write when I can find time And my duties do allow I write when I find a rhyme That I make to fit, somehow
