Why I Write


A darkness overcame my mind, A sickness that had made me blind, From all the tears that I had cried, Watching the life fade from their eyes. Struggling with all my might, I put my pen to the paper to fight. That's the reason why I write.

My name is Brianna Hammond and I'm addicted to writing. I allow my life experiences to serve as inspiration for my poems. I am very intrigued by darkness and mental illness, so it tends to pop up in a lot of my writing. I hope I can comfort and inspire others with my words. There is something about putting a pencil to paper that makes my heart skip beats.
