Why I Write

I write to release all of the emotions I’ve picked up during the day, I write to remember happy memories, and to make the bad ones fade away. I write because I am in love. I write because I’m in pain… I write because I have nothing to lose, and so very much to gain. I write when my head is filled with fantasies, dreams and or goals, I write because just like an actor, my mind takes on many roles. I write my own songs, poems and sometimes silly little rants, I write because I feel, I write because I can’t. I write to show others like me that they are never alone, I write to create another world that is simply my own. I write because I am proud. I write because I’m ashamed… I write when there’s a voice inside of me that can’t be tamed. I write at three in the morning when I can’t fall asleep, I write because it is far better than counting furry sheep. I write because I always have something to say, I write because it has made me into who I am today.
