The Essence of Writing


 

I write because I have freedom

I write for the individual

I write when no one listens

 

I write because I have a voice

I write for the future

I write when no one cares

 

I write because it cleanses

I write for the soul

I write when no one speaks

 

I write because of the power

I write for change

I write when no one questions

 

I write because the pen pours

I write for the flow

I write when no one writes

 

I write for the essence.
