I write when I'm feeling elated <br />I write when I'm feeling sad, <br />My poems are all thoughts I've created <br />Some may be good and some bad; <br />Some people like to accuse me <br />Of living inside of my head, <br />Well, I've lived in places less friendly <br />And too many words I have said; <br />I may have stepped over the boundary <br />Of walls that I shouldn't have climbed <br />But when there's an issue to ponder <br />I just have to put it to rhyme; <br />I hope that my words have some impact <br />At least in a positive way, <br />As long as the people keep reading <br />I'll keep finding something to say!<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-analysis/
