Learning Why


I write, not for the world, but for the world in me. I write for self-love, self-acceptance, self-discovery. I write, I dance among words, to the beat of scratching pens, for me. For my love and for my peace. I write, not to teach, but to be taught. I write for the cause, every cause, that speaks and screams and grabs for me. I write to discover, find, put pieces together. I write, I search among society, among the words of my people, for me. For my mind and for my growth.
