I Write


I write to save my bleak soul from the troubles of today. I write to make the tears of sorrow shy swiftly away. I write so that others may know they are not alone. I write because my heart was once as cold as stone. I write because I know where sadness makes his blue mark. I write because i've seen the anger of the dark. I write because it helps me to see the sun's rays. I write so that happiness will exist in my days. I write so that others may lean on me. But mostly, I write to set myself free.
