Why do I live?

I write to escape reality I write to give life to my actions and words I fight my struggles and write to live I can't live on my own I need to write My writing does what a ton of bricks cannot If each of my work was a person they would be beautiful These people help me live they are my friends, family, and most of all me Why do I write? I write just for fun It's nothing more than a compliment to make me smile when my work is appreciated Even in the most grim of my days Without writing I'd be an empty shell A vessel that contains no soul or spirit I write for my joy, love, and most of all me Writing keeps us alive whether we see it or not I write to keep my joy, anger, self hatred, and love all in check Why do I live? I live to write
