Why do I write? by Robbie Cheadle

What drives me to write? 

To share my innermost thoughts 

The answer is clear 

It’s my personal attempt 

To make some sense of this world. 

What drives me to write? 

Exposing personal ideas 

To unhearing ears 

In this large, uncaring world 

I believe I reach a few. 

What drives me to write? 

To cast my words like pebbles 

Into the water 

To join the endless ripples 

That may swell into huge waves. 

What drives me to write? 

A hope to instigate change 

To do some small good 

In a world of endless pain 

Doing nothing destroys hope.
