I Write.

I write like people breath,

because I have to.

I write because I've been hurt,

and if I Dont ill lock myself away.

I write because It releases me,

and makes me feel like moving on.

I write because its apart of me,

without it I'd be nothing.

I write because I can not speak

but i can yell behind a pen and a paper.

I write because It gives me breath,

even when I'm struggling for answers.

wow this is soo good, i can really relate. My favorite line is "I write because I can not speak but I can yell behind a pen and a paper." I love the word play and how moving it is too me
