Why I Write

I write 

To fill the gap between my teeth

With fire caught words 

That are spat into your ears 

And made you shake your head repetitively in agreement

Because I've just connected with you 

I write 

To give my anger an outlet 

Like the wall sending electricity through a wire 

To give life

I write 

To make your heart pulsate 

With anger

With hate 

With love

I write

To the people

Who have screwed me over

Like a tool pushing me head first into a wall 

I write 

To verbally slam 

My broken heart into your chest 

So you can feel my pain

As if it were your own

I write 

Because the pen doesn't reply

I write 

Because that's therapy 

To the mind of a jaded person 

I write 

It's what I do

It's what I'm passionate about
