This is Why


This is why i write. 

It is something i have always done 

me without writing is like the ocean without water

or a bright beautiful day with no sun 

It gives me a sense of wonder and understanding

it makes me feel like im on the top of the world, not the side nor the middle but the top

when i write i feel like i can walk on water

and nothing, absolutely nothing, is going to make me stop

This is why i write 

a lot of people may not understand 

but it makes sense to me

maybe thats because it is something that you feel, and not something that you can see

If you ask me why i wrote, these would be the reasons why 

as you can see, i have nothing to hide, i wouldnt even bother to try 

But if you were wondering why i write, This is why
