Why I write

I wirte to express myself

I need to let go of the past

I need to focus on the future

Because of this, writing never comes last

Instead of dying instead by living a lie

I write to stay alive

Its the only way to unravel my thoughts

I write so I wont have to keep my secrets in a box

I even write to stay sane

Its the only way I can release and ease the pain

If I didnt have my pen and paoer

I know I'd be known for being a faker

How can I figure myself out If I dont write?

How can I ever be myself If these thoughts continue to stay in my mind?

Sometimes people will never understand

They dont know what poetry can do

It can keep anyone from being bland

I tell you nothing but the truth

This is one reason why I think writing is a piece of art 

I knew from day one that poetry had my heart

But people fail to see that without writing, poetry would never be. 

This is what writing means to me
