Why I Write


I write because it's

a way to express

myself, to show my

success.

And to bring pride

to myself and relieve

stress, because I need

to do my best.

To become a better

version of myself, and

sometimes to remember someone

else.

I write because I

get tired of the

lies, and the pain

I feel that always

makes me cry.

Writing gives me hope

to show that it's

time to get up,

and go take the

opportunity to grow and

get in the spot

light to glow.

 I write because my

life still has meaning

even when I have

insecurities there are people

who still believe in

me.

Why I write because

it shows my personality

of who I will

be and how I am

just as bright and

strong as a young

women should be.
