Why this need to write

Why this need to write now?
Why has it surfaced ?

Last i wrote was ages ago.

Then life was full of expectations

There were dreams to be dreamt

But Now?

I have not learnt the how

But write I must

Words flow from deep within.

All dreams lie shattered

I stand alone and all around is barren

I ask myself

What do I want to write about now?

Of hopes I dare not hope again?

Of dreams of long ago?

With nothing to write about

Write I must

As this impulse will not go

I write of pain ,of sorrow, of hurt

I write of life,of unfullfilled hopes,

unrealised dreams,unanswered questions

And wonder why i write.
