Why do you write?
Asks my English book.
So I say why
and man,
it really makes me wanna
write.
I do it
(writing that is)
to make something
out of nothing.
I do it
to make something
beautiful
(hopefully)
I do it
because how can I not?
Writing is like breathing for me.
What is it for you English book?

I feel like you need to straighten up the rythm to this poem. Adding those parenthises made it confusing. You als might want to elaborate on your English book before you refrence it again in the end.
