Why I Write


Why Do I write? I write because I have feelings I write because I love, laugh, hate, and cry I write to tell the world what's wrong even when i don't know myself or i'm to afraid to actually say it i write because i'm a fighter who believes that this outlet is better then cutting myself i write because i have so many words in my head threatening to spill out of my mouth in an angry rage i write to stop myself from hurting others and the ones i love i write because it makes me happy i write because it frustrates me i write because it's the most beautiful thing in the world i write because writing is what saved me on the worst day of my life when i thought i had no other option but to stop and end everything but writing saved me i sat down and wrote a letter to god asking him to save me and he did writing gave me the strength to say things i never thought i could writing was the one way i could be myself this is why i write
