Why Write?

I write about the moments in life That are too complex for the spoken word, And I write to dissect every problem That I can't bear to inflict upon a friend. I write to express the misunderstood beauty That few people have experienced. By writing, I recognize the underrated elegance Found within the people and Objects downtrodden by a standard Of beauty that will never be attained. I write to feel the immediate comfort Of making my thoughts concrete And sharing them with the people Who live while I write about the Emotions and experiences that are At once unique and universal. And I write in the hopes That I will affect at least one life With my existence through the written word, Giving hope to some and comfort to others. Because as long as the written word exists, You are never truly alone.
