why do I write ?


I write because I have purpose on this land

I write because my words can inspire all those who are around me

I write because words can create imagery 

I write because it is apart of me 

Words are what you and I live by 

Words can cause a person to smile, laugh or even cry

Words can touch a soul in so many ways

Words give a sense of hope

I write because it is a way of self expression

 It allows for others to see things from my point of view

Words give vision and that is why I write

to allow others to see the way I do.
