Why I write


Why I write

I write to show my feelings deep inside,

Only unsubmerged through pen and paper.

I write to seek stability through the ups and downs of what we call life.

Deep inside, you don't know.

You don't know the struggles I had or the pain I have felt.

You don't know my fears, my weaknesses, or my strong suits.

You know only what I tell you.

And what I tell you sometimes is not what I feel.

But the pen knows what you are feeling 

It knows you are putting up a front.

In return it puts your true feelings on the paper

And so you ask why I write

Isnt it self explanatory

I write because the pen is the only one that knows me.

And this

Is why I write
