I write for myself


I write for myself.
I write because I never have the courage to speak to others about my thoughts, or my fears, worries, and stress.
The words I embed on the piece of paper are the tears that stubbornly cling to my eyelids.
I write for myself.
I write to understand the thoughts that constantly rush through my head faster than 3x10 to the power of 8 not even the speed of light can crash it because it has no brakes, it no longer takes breaks. 
I write for myself.
I write to find the answers within my everyday questions until I wrote so much I found that the best answer I could find is no answer
And as I wrote for myself I realized it's okay not to have the answer to things. I realized it's okay to not have found myself yet and continue striving to. 
I write for people.
I write for those who feel just as alone as I do.
I write to be heard by those who haven't found the same courage to,
Yet.
