Why I write~


I write because it soothes and tames. It gives me a comfort and peace of mind when I'm in pieces. It keeps me whole and sane. I write because my poetry has no name. It can't tell my secrets, and bash my name. I write because things just aren't the same it's no more video games now all I deal with is heartbreaks and things that go unexplained. I write because I'm a broken soul an that's how we cope. I write because that's the only way to keep hope..keep hope alive cause I swear I be wanting to die. I be wanting to cry. But no emotions for a Queen, no tears no screams. Cause I am a poet, strong and soulful, wise and boastful..but I'm humble. So I take my hurt and my heart and wrap it, squeeze it and dress it. Decorize it , covered in words and phrases, metaphors and teenage slangs. I make me, I make it speak. I write because it helps me, I write because poetry is me. Why cry, why die, why never ever wanna try, when you can write and live inspite.
