I’m always alone here
with all the voices in the air
they told me I had bipolar
and some schizoaffective disorder
is this the reason why I write?
there are thousands of writers in the world
does that mean everyone has my condition?
why should society fight against it?
I doubt it, that’s just the reason
for all the ungrateful things
they did to me
justification of their routine
they don’t need books, if they do
they never wonder what it’s like
to be the one who created it all
a brand-new world coming out of the head
on paper
without this action there would be no books
no movies will fill their screen
no music will fill the speakers
for their entertainment
so why did they always want to fight us?
if we are the ones who give life
not just one, thousands of them
in every chapter, paragraph, scene
for their attention to submit to it
enforcing it whilst reading
listening and watching
as without these steps
they would not know many solutions to real life problems
not to mention the philosophy of living wisely
I doubt they even care
what's happening
around the next corner of their own street
I guess we’ll see
