You Ask Me Why I Write


You ask me why I write. Well, I don’t have a complex answer. I never experienced any real trauma or disaster That inspires me to put it on paper. Or type it out in Microsoft Word, whichever I prefer I will answer your question with a simple “I enjoy writing” Is that enough for you? Because it’s enough for me. I like to tell stories and create characters And destroy those characters and rearrange settings It’s like being a God; having so much power And being able to do so much with it So I choose to write I write about my feelings, I write about my day I write about my dreams, and I write about my doubts I may not be the best writer, but my writings aren't for anyone in general They are for me, myself, and I. So, you ask me why I write? Simple, it’s because I want to.
