I write
I write for many reasons;
The most selfish reason is for me.
I do it to release my thoughts that I can't find the exact words for how I feel.
When I can't articulate a synonym for my feelings
An extended metaphor or simile portrays that elegant speech.
I write for aesthetics.
Poetry for me is not just words.
From every stroke of a letter or word the poet writes,
Another picture is placed in the mind.
I write for knowledge,
For every poem I write I learn something new.
I learn the flow of words and how each word sings a song even when it is not a ballad,
When lined and staged with one another.
I write because it's a place I can escape to.
A land of words that form to what I want them to.
A place my can open up and allow others to see.
Open to judgement without a care of what you may think of me.
I write because I can write.
