Why I write


Why I write To let the pain all out The sleepless nights when I wasn't thought about Kick off the pedal stool when I had something to say Made fun of because what I wore that day Why I Write To let other people know they’re not alone That they're awesome and stay strong Even thought people throw the stones and kick you down Persevere because there's going to be a huge turn around Why I write To let go of my past To be free at last Showing that I let go and I now know how to open my mouth and say no Why I write To motivate the lives that gave up That’s tired of living the life of corrupt Difficult is the word they use When they are lost and don't know what to do Why I write So people can relate Understand that there's no time to procrastinate Ambition is what you aim for Determination is what you do forevermore Why I write To cry out to the lives That is ashamed to let their voice be heard The ones who have gotten abused and didn't deserve Why I write To prove a point that the society didn't believe That a teen like me have a heart and voice that wants to speak out to but was closed tightly Why I write For the people who were demanded to keep silent Even though they witness drugs and violence The quilt just continued to grow But they just held it in not trying to show Why I write To let people know writing is my therapy That seems to be there when ever I call out "Help me" Writing is great so you can let go And be capable to strongly grow Why I write For myself And for you
