Because I'M Happy
I write because I'm happy
I write because I'm free
I'm write because I'm black
I write because I'm me
I write because of dad
And his 3 poems that I read
I write because a rhyme
Sounds so good in my head
I write because of racism
And how one can't understand
I write because of war
I write because of Uncle Sam
I write because of love
Even write harder because of hate
I write because I cry
When I breathe when I awake
I Write Because I'm Happy
I write because of Poe
And when he spoke of that crow
I write because of of Charlie Brown
And his Haiku on HBO
I write because of you
And those Sonnets so sweet
I write because I'm inspired
By those poems I always read
I Write Because I'm Happy
