Right to Live to Write

I write to Live.
I write when nothing else will do.
When a song can't cut it and when a dance is nonexistent,
my mind and my left hand is all that I have to depend on.
Honestly I don't know my purpose, and i don't know what God has
in store for his will for me. Until then I use this place to find some clarity
When nothing else makes sense, this place does.
My secret place where I can exist and be.

I write to help myself and I write with hope to help others.
When I can say to others like-minded to me and understand my type of reality
I have to laugh to keep from crying, live to keep from dying, and breath to keep from drowning, but with writing, I must write because I have that right. The right to keep moving and writing accelerates me day by day.
One day my voice can be gone and that will be okay
A long as I have my mind, this pen and paper, this keyboard, and these keys on this cell phone
I will never be silenced because I have the right to live to write.
