& The Reason Is..
I write to handle all the anger I feel inside
My life has been on a rollercoaster and it hasn't been a fun ride
I write because it helps me to clear my head
I write because what I've seen makes me never want to wed
I write because my father won't return my calls
I guess he thinks I want something that's why he stalls
Writing takes some of my pain away
I feel like all my life I've been held at bay
I write because I've spent so much time alone
People get tired of my problems, I can hear it in their tone
I write because I am raised as an only child
I write because it's an alternative to being wild
I write because I dream of how good life would be
I write because I've paid the price and it hasn't been free
I write because I've been robbed of a normal life
I write because I've never seen my mother as a wife
I write instead of shedding tears
I write because my life has been a struggle for the first 17 years
I write in hopes that my life will soon get better
I write because I've got so many unmailed letters
I write because what doesn't kill you will make you strong
I write because in May 2014, I will prove my father wrong...
