I Write to Live On

I never thought I was that girl The girl perpetually attached to her steno pad with a backpack full of ink pens and dreams But once the words started flowing Relief came over me I write to live on Because even after I go My words are eternal Immovable Strong and solid Helping others understand my legacy Helping me understand myself Because pages take me to the past Of a Me that once was A Me that had different goals and different dreams I write because life is a fragile existence and any more than a whisper can blow it all away But my words will stay Forever engraved in a single page Forever engraved into my very existence
