Why Do I Write?
Do I write to escape the world?
when my pen hits the paper am I no longer this lonely girl?
Do I become this girl who isn't afraid to be free
Do I become this girl who will defeat
all the problems of the world?
Why Do I Write?
Do I write to escape a physical disability that won't go away?
Which I'm reminded of this everyday.
Do I pray and pray that this will disappear?
So i won't have to live in fear..
Fear that no one will love me for me
or look past this disability.
Why Do I Write?
Do I write to build up my confidence?
Everybody in the world needs confidence.
Yes it may seem like that's what i have
but nobody knows what i have.. not even me
Do I write to build up my self esteem?
Why Do I Write?
I actually don't know why I write.

I love your use of questions and uncertainty. This gives the poem a stream of consciousness feel!
