I Write Because...


I write because my hand knows what my mouth doesn't

I write because the paper can hold more than what I tell others

I write because it's easier to reminisce 

I write because it is a release

I write because it frees me

I write because it gives me bliss

I write because it helps me understand

I write because it shows me truth

I write because I can

I write because I know

I write because the pen understands

I write because it shows me rhythm

I write because it gives me music

I write because it gives me life

I write because I want to

I write because I have to

This is why i write
