The write way.

They give us these rules
Call them useful tools
In our tool box
In our schools.

The hand writes
Well
If the mind
Stays within the right
Spelling and Syntax
As it dwells
On which words
Will work when writing.

And as I’m righting myself
In my chair
I swear
This thing gets off balance
Without a care.
Like the words in my mind

And I’m writing myself
Into a dare
To prove a point
Which I feel
The need
To share.

To be
Or not to be
The verb’s out of the question!
But if I might
I will make a single
Suggestion.

We are ruled widely
In youth
And in college.
And no
This isn’t to speak
Against the beauty of
Knowledge.

But we’ve been
Ruled by the rules
Repeated around us

Revering,
and reigning in
The creativity
That surrounds us

And for writing
Lacking Voice
As my words
Have been deemed
I have a choice
So it seems

I could
Accept rules as facts
And seal my fate.

Or

Challenge them steadily
And put my faith
In myself
knowing
This is the write way.

Sincerely,
Taylor
