I write to live.
I write to thrive.
I write to keep my thoughts and feelings alive.
I write to share.
To get out of my head
To do something instead
Of dwelling in harmful thought and regret.
On sleepless nights
Or dragging days
Writing is my escape.
Emotions take shape.
Meaning given rise
To the power inside.
I write to cope.
I write to give hope.
To myself.
To others.
I write for communication.
It is my salvation.
I write because I have the right to write.
The right to freedom
The right to speak
The right to my sanity.
