Why I Write?

Why do I write?

The better question is

Why do I not write?

In this city so big, my voice is never heard.

I'm just a fish in a mist of sharks.

Always, Afraid to speak out loud,

Afraid my voice won’t be heard, so I write.

I write to set my ideas free.

I write to tell Their stories.

For the stories of those who don’t have a voice.

I write for myself.

I write to feel because it’s the only way for me to vent.

I write to my PAST.

To never let me forget how STRONG I truly am.

I write for the PRESENT.

For it’s truly the only way I could deal with this stage of my life.

 I write for the FUTURE.

Because I know the day will come that I’ll read these letters to myself

And Wonder if what I wrote became true.

I write to write.

I write because I AM the STORYTELLER of my story.

And no one else but me.
