Why I Write


I worked hard to get to where I am now

To purse my education in the years to come

And to become unable to purse my education

Due to financial problems would be an unfair call.

All those hopes and dreams and years of studying,

For nothing.

No.

I am somebody.

I will be an inspiration.

I will get through the tough times,

With God by my side,

I will always have faith.

Giving up will be nonexistence.

I write to become somebody.

I write to have a voice.

I write because God gave me the gift to write.
