Why I Write?


I write to release emotions. To you and everyone else I can't say them to. I write to clear my mind of the hurt and pain. The anger I have. I learn to not hold a grudge. I write to give myself something to look forward to. Something to hope for. I write to give these creative letters to you grandma. Emotions piled up. Tears embedded on the paper. Tears in the screen of my phone. Tears which know how I feel. I write so I don't cry. So I don't hurt. But so I feel better. About December. This is why. I write.

BornPoet

I have been writing poetry since I was around ten and love it. It helps me to vent and say things on paper that I cannot say out loud. Over the years, I have developed my writing even more and have been published twice in books. I am currently working on my own poetry book which will definitly include poems, and narratives (personal) that I have written in my senior Enlgish class.
