Why I Write


I live to write,

to express my emotions and to empower my thoughts,

to portray the world through my eyes.

Its why I can breathe freely...

With the use of my words I am reassured that I am alive,

that I am human and my soul is being touched

Without it I am numb,

for my thoughts are not expressed,

and my emotions are untold.

The words that I write are a lense to see through my point of view

This blessed beautiful life that I exist in is the continuous inspiration that feuls my writing.
