What Writing Can Do


Love must be expressed

Pain demands release

Sorrow needs an outlet

To comunicate these emotions you require a commonality

Language, song, voice, written words are the similarity

What I communicate?

Sorrow. Pain. Tragedy.

Why I write?

Its a way to deal with the past

This way the sorrow, pain, and tragedy will not last

The result of my writng?

I gain understanding

I achieve acceptance

I reach a sense of hope

My writing explains why I am , the way I am
