Why I Write?


I write because it’s the best way to express myself.

When I feel like no one is here to listen to the words I have to say; that’s when I write.

I write because maybe one day there will be someone here; that I can read my thoughts to.

I write because it’s something I am good at.

I write because maybe there’s someone out there who can relate.

I write to keep myself away from the negativity.

When times get hard from me and the struggles get tough;

I write.

I write to better my skills and to learn new things.

I write because the world is so mess up, that nobody listens.

I write to make a change.
