Why I write (scholarship slam)
I write
when words seep out the crevasses of my brains unto the blank sheets of paper
when words move me to higher levels that are so overwhelming
words are my inner voice that I dare not to say aloud.
my secrets that I need to let out
my story that I need someone to read
writing makes me feel whole again when I have been ripped apart into shreds
writing, why are you so liberating? like the breakage of shackles and chains by my inner demons
that taunt me through the day. yet you free me during the night
I write.
I write so my words can speak to people
touch lives
trigger emotions that are untouchable
that are locked away and protected by fear
I write
so my words can be the light at the end of the dark tunnel-
to set free
and live again
I write.
