Why I Write


I write to rid the roof of my mouth from words stuck thick in my throat stealing my breath suffocating any sane thoughts I might have left to break the chains around my heart allowing blood to pump in place of unrequited love tainting my veins and filling my head with hate I write to let her know she's the smile on my lips and in my eyes proving perfection in humans does exist if you look hard enough and never give up to give those who haven't found a voice a way to sing where no radio can repeat it to the point of losing it's reason I write to give the world a piece of me one word at a time until I am free
