Why I Write


Why do I write?

Why do I write?

Maybe the question I should ask is why do I feel?

Cause the more I feel the more words flow out of me.

 

My words paint a page with the blood from my heart.

With each heartbeat,

another

word

drops.

 

Why do I write?

I write because I think.

Maybe my thoughts will make others think too.

And we all know the world could use more thinkers.

 

Why do I write?

Because I might die if I didn't.

Why do I write?

Why do YOU breathe?
