Unoriginal why I write


Why I write?

A simple question

that deserves a complex answer

I write because 

sometimes in my life 

nothing seems to go right

so I write to find direction 

Order and Organization 

I write to find myself 

because sometimes I get lost in this crazy world 

I write because 

sometimes I feel I'm sinking in 

and I just need something to pull me out 

I write because 

it's the only thing I have control over, 

in my life 

I write because 

I need someone to pile my feelings on and who better than this paper whose already holding the weight of my tears on its back 

I write because 

no one ever listens, but this paper,

its ears seem to be wide enough to hear all my problems 

I write because 

sometimes it gets too heavy 

and I'm scared the pain I feel might break me 

I write because 

It comforts me, it holds me when I'm all alone, tossed in a dark corner

I write because 

it's a part of me 

I write because 

IT IS ME...
