I write because...


I write because without my words i am useless.  It is as if i have no other purpose than to change politics, racism, and religon by the strokes of my pen.

I write to speak the truth , to tell you about yourself. 

I write because its my faith, a constant reminder of why i exsist.

I write to promote a riot, to stand and fight for something.To beleive in something. 

I write because i have no other escape, it is the only way i survive day by day.

I write because out of everything in this world it is the only place and the only time where someone can literally be free.
