Why I Write?


I have always had a love for singing And no I do not sing because I can sing Because honestly I cannot.. Yet I sing anyways Because deep down inside of me There is a part of me that comes alive when I sing There is a new twinkle in my eye New pep in my step New light in my shine.. But only when I sing. Despite this I cannot sing. So no you will not hear me singing In the hallway, on stage, on YouTube, Or even in the shower. My only fans are me, my self, and I. I do not sing because I have talent I sing for the simple fact that it brings me joy I can feel the melody in my soul. No one will ever understand My love for something that I love to do but cannot do well.. See.. I sing for me. And although it makes no sense to you. It makes perfect sense to me, Which is why I write. I may not write everyday. Most times my writing is really bad, But that doesn't stop me from writing. Even my closest friends do not know I write. My only readers are me, myself, and I. Writing gives me an escape From the forever changing Forver confusing World around me. Regardless of what is going on in my life I can always count on writing to Put a new twinkle in my smile New skip to my walk New reason to love strong and hard New ray of hope in my life But only when I write. And no I cannot write well Yet I write for the simple fact that It brings me happiness. And although it may not make any sense to anyone But me. That's okay because I write for me.
