Why I Write

Location

I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, a lot of trials coming at me.

That is why I write.

I’ve had people come into my life and then ones who just left me.

That is why I write.

I have a sister who didn’t want me around, she hated me.

That is why I write.

I have a father who walked out on us, forgot me.

That is why I write.

I realized that things just happen, and it will fall together for me.

That is why I write.

I have a family who lives with me, puts up with me, laughs with me.

That is why I write.

I have a God who loves me, cherishes me, died for me.

That is why I write.

I have friends who do fun, stupid, crazy things with me.

That is why I write.

I have a dog who is only happy when she’s home with me.

That is why I write.

I have a cat who lounges with me, cuddles with me.

That is why I write.

I have a boyfriend who loves to simply be with me.

That is why I write.

I have my education that will help to better me.

That is why I write.

I have myself, my beliefs, and a willpower no one can take from me.

THIS.. this is why I write.
