Why write?


Why write? You have a mouth don't you?

writing goes so much deeper than words on paper, don't you know?

see I've got A LOT of build up. Emotions, memories, what could've been, what should've been.

but mainly what I want to be. I want things this way, that way, I mean they can be their way, but it's not my way. Not my way not in my control, it doesn't work. I'm real particular...Ain't that some shit? I mean I'll compromise sure. But there still has to be some me. You feel me?
