Why I Write...
No one really listens
If they do, they don't care
Pick up paper and a pen
A story I'll share
What really is the point?
Readers won't understand but that's the thing
Most write so people can read but I write so no one reads.
This is why I write
Giving myself a future
I see it so bright but the grasp is less than tight.
Sometimes I don't know so
I put on a show.
People think I'm so happy
Honestly my feelings are just on the low
This is why I write
I write because there aren't any wrongs or rights.
Right?
Right.
So write.
People try to change me
I don't complain
I do the same
Every single day
I try to vision someone else
Someone better
Someone who is happier with their self
I have to remember they're just letters
Letters on a page
That add up to words
Words that add up to sentences
Sentences that add up to truth
The truth you don't want to say aloud
So write it.
Read it.
Burn it.
Feel Better.
........and that's why I write.
