Why Do You Write?
People ask me,
"Why do you write?"
"Who do you write for?"
I think,
I write for myself,
to vent my emotions
to tell a story
to spread a message
to calm myself
I write for poets,
who enjoy reading
who need inspiration
who like to encourage
who try to find similarity
I write for you,
to tell you how I feel
to send hidden messages
to make you feel good
to show what you meant to me
I say,
"I dunno, I just like to write"
