why i write

July 22, 2013

I write to write.

I write to be free,

To give myself the opportunity

To just simply be me.

 

To write isn’t just words on a page,

But the flow of words

That match perfectly.

Like an unending puzzle.

In which each piece completes my life story.

 

To speak the unspeakable.

To set your mind  ablank.

To find your voice from within.

They say freedom of speech,

I say freedom to write.

To find myself inside.

 

Everyone has a reason,

A motivation.

As for me,

This is mine as you can see.
