I write because..


I write because...

Writing is form of expression

Life is a constant progression.....

There is nobody else for me to talk to but

the pen and paper that patiently wait for  the arrival of my fingers

of my fingers to express whats really going on inside

whats really running through a giddy girl's mind.

I live by the saying ' When words fail Music speaks"

But what happens when music faills?

When Words have fallen?

This...

Results Of one girl who cant seem to always find the right words to say,

silently calling.

Discouraged,Alone, Shattered or just Sad

No thats not me, But better said I'm just mad.

Mad

at choices I've made

Mad

Feeling like Life has been delayed.

Mad

Feeling betrayed

Mad because 

School is not a guarentee 

Causing a young soul to lose sleep.

And When Sleep is no longer an option 

I sit up and think ,

Damn.

is this really me?

So the question was propsed, "Why do you write?"

Because I cant continue to swing in a losing fight.

I'm just  a little dog with a big bite.
