Why I Write
Location
I write because I breathe.
I write because I feel.
I write because if I don't, I'll go mad with all the emotions rattling around inside my head.
I write because words are beautiful.
I write because they are deadly.
I write because if I don't I'll scream.
I write to touch the stars and sleep in the moon.
I write to shout that which I am not bold enough to whisper.
I write because it is how I dance.
I write to defend life.
I write to destroy it.
I write to make my life have a happy ending.
I write to make myself a better person.
I write as a prayer.
I write to scare myself.
I write for the thrill of it.
I write to change my world.
I write to cope with it.
I write because I am brave and strong.
I write because I am afraid and weak.
I write to slay the monsters that lurk in dark corners.
I write to feel the sun on my face and the grass between my toes.
I write to believe.
I write because I live.
