Why I Write


I write for those who have been bullied for years by their peers.

I write for those who have silenced by suicide.

I write for those who have felt the hurt from the world's economy.

I write for those who have had the words beaten out of them by their gaurdians or parents.

I write for those who had the longing for a better future.

I write for those who have never had a chance to live due to abortion.

I write for those that have never had the chance to dance due to disablities.

I write for those who have never had the chance to sing due to damaged vocal chords.

I write for those who have never had the chance to change their future due to insecurities because I was one of them. 

I write for the world and it's children who never knew what it was like to be loved and happy.

I write for them.
