I Write For Myself


I write for myself, Not for others, For I will not conform to your wishes. I write to express myself, Not to please you, For I am not who you want me to be. I write for my life, Not to get your opinion, For I have my own opinions. I write to dream, Not to give you ideas, For I have big dreams while you steal others. I write to stay happy, Not for you to hurt me, For I have my own life. I write to write, Not to do something, For I am a writer and I live to write.
