The Writer In Me, Wants You To Know

The writer in me, wants you to know that she writes to just be
She seldom writes  to please 
Or appease
All she writes for is to be
In writing to be
She creates  a space within her that allows
her to become a writer that she was meant to be
The writer in me, wants you to know that she barely  writes for accreditation
She does not know much about it 
Or care for it
She cares about the space in which she wants  to be
In writing, she finds joy and peace
And liberation of a special kind that writers perhaps need
Writers are freedom fighters I believe now 
They fight for a cause
That have no hope at all
So what is the cause I am fighting for
I still don’t know
Perhaps it will emerge in tiny bits here and there
The writer in me will find one very soon
For now, the writer in me
Just writes to be.
