I write.
I wrote.
I have always written.

As if by birth.
Teachers teach.
Writers write.

Beyond the relm of
institution or publication.
They need no validation.

Regardless of education, or vocation.
Teachers still teach.
Writers still write.

It's the nature of the "Natural".
A different kind of being.
A different way of seeing.

A complicating condition.
Compulsive and addictive.
The source of my affliction.

I write.

The Natural.
