Why I write


Pen to paper is easier than face to face.

You can express yourself freely

and not get judge so harshly. 

You can be seen or hidden,

but the words will be released.

 

When it is done, you will feel lighter.

A weight is lifted from your shoulders.

Carry on now, little writer.

Write to express yourself,

even when no one is listening.

Because you are not doing it for others,

you are writing for yourself.
