Right to Live to Write


I write to Live. I write when nothing else will do. When a song can't cut it and when a dance is nonexistent, my mind and my left hand is all that I have to depend on. Honestly I don't know my purpose, and i don't know what God has in store for his will for me. Until then I use this place to find some clarity When nothing else makes sense, this place does. My secret place where I can exist and be. I write to help myself and I write with hope to help others. When I can say to others like-minded to me and understand my type of reality I have to laugh to keep from crying, live to keep from dying, and breath to keep from drowning, but with writing, I must write because I have that right. The right to keep moving and writing accelerates me day by day. One day my voice can be gone and that will be okay A long as I have my mind, this pen and paper, this keyboard, and these keys on this cell phone I will never be silenced because I have the right to live to write.

Everybody has their own way of self expression. Whether it be Dancing, Music, Singing, Rapping, Poetry, Painting, etc....Well, I haven't found mine yet. Still searching until I find it, I started off here and as I continue to search I leave you with these things. From ME to YOU sent with Love ,the purest way I can give .....Because the Great Stevie Wonder always said, "Use your heart to love someone, and if it's big enough, LOVE EVERYONE!!!" ~Zeal
