Why I Write


I write so I won't forget about you , I write when there's nothing else to do , the paper doesn't judge me or look at me strange when I'm myself. I write to be heard and listened to , I write because I no longer have you. I write to express me, be me, fulfill me. It shouldn't be this hard to explain but I write because its apart of me , Writing takes the anxiety away, Tells me I will make it one day It tells me I am stronger than I ever was, because now I'm not afraid to admit how I feel. Writing destroys the demons that say your ugly and not good enough. Writing is the confidence on paper , I aspire to be in the present. Writing , my security blanket , you don't disappoint me. The best part of writing is when no one is listening That's when we're really ourselves anyway. I write because no one can hear me like this paper does. I write to deal, Deal with all the aches, pains and regrets. Conquer the guilt that once destroyed me. Writing is my alter ego, I'm the best when I let it all go. I rarely like my writing because its never finished to me. Rarely do I say I love this poetry let me read it to you. I write to start what I can never seem to finish. I write because others like you,reading this inspire me. Inhale the words , Exhale the meaning I write for clarity of who I really am. I write because I miss how my words dance on paper, I miss the complex meaning of the word "why" I miss the repetition of the same words but they're always different, I miss who I am as writer. Why I write is beyond me , maybe you could tell me.
