Without Words

© By Rivka Lubin
I write for the same reason I breathe
If I didn't I would die
Without words to express myself
Life is a broken winged bird that can't fly

I write my soul down word for word
I write things I could never say
Without this method of expression
I would cry every day

I try to forget all the regret
Or else life is mine to miss
Without saying what I truly feel
Then I'll always stay like this

So I write for the same reason I breathe
It's so that bird can fly up to the sky
I need to rise higher and higher
And finally stop asking why
