I write because it takes


I write because it takes away the pain the infliction i sometimes feel

It takes away the hurt and the nights i cry it restores it lifts me back up and gives me peace 

again when it seems as if all else fails, 

 

I write because it is the only way for me to keep my insanity

to keep from exploding or unleashing the raft i wish i could display

 

I write because i know i have a gift i know i have talent a way with words and thoughts

 i know how to write from different perspective different views and to leave people with 

thought of wow that is deep

I write because it makes me feel good makes my heart race its a gift to be able to write i write because we have freedom of speech we have a voice but whats the point if we don't take advantage of every opportuntiy we have

i write because i was given a talent i was shown how to show a much deeper beginning to

life though my father showed and ive grown to see and now the man that he is because it is

a reflection of him in his writing and i am a reflection of myself in the mirror and it shines through on paper

i write because writing has a purpose in so many ways in this day in age. 

i write so that i can share and can be who i am if only on paper people see the real me

i write i reflect i understand i know because its apart of me i write
