Why I Write


Why do i write?

Because a classroom requires me too?

Because it's a necessity of life?

That may be why some people write,

But I write for larger purposes.

I write to extinguish demons,

To fight the depression,

To let it all out.

I write to gain control.

I write to release my world.

I write to create, to destroy.

I write to release, to enjoy.

It may not be why others write. 

And it may sound complicated.

But simply put, I write to heal myself.
