I Write for Life


I write for the same reasons that I eat, For the same reasons that I sleep, For the same reasons that I breathe. I write to keep the blood pumping through my veins, To keep my mind from engulfing my body, To keep myself together. I write to express myself And contain myself to a paper. I write for life. I write because words are the only thing close to What it is I actually want to express. Emotions, thoughts, theories. I write in order to stay sane. I write because I am human, And I need to be understood.
