Why Do I Still Write?


I've never really thought about why I write the things I do

Is it to inform? To persuade? To entertain me and you?

I feel like it's all of that, and more.

To put down in writing my thoughts, my feelings, my doubts

My ideas, my hopes, my goals - writing gives me an out

When I write what I want with my pencil in my right hand,

Writing doesn't feel like a chore.

To express myself with my full capability

To broaden my borders, explore my creativity

To see just how far I'd go in possibilities

To accomplish every single one of my duties

One more thing to note, please don't take this for granted:

I write what I write, most of all, because I like it.
