Why I Write

This is why I write
 
It lets me be free
 
I can do what I feel
 
I feel like it understands me
 
It lets me do what I never dream of doing
 
I can say what I feel
 
Without having anybody care
 
They just want good writing
 
It's all they want
 
They don't care what you are
 
Or what you do
 
Or who you are in real life
 
Good reading is why they're here
 
But I'm not here for that
 
They may see it as that.
 
But I don't
 
I express myself
 
And I do it to feel free
 
I do it to set my feelings free ike a bird
 
It's liberating
 
Try it.
 
Even if it's just once.
 
Please.
 
Not for me.
 
Do it for yourself.
 
It'll be fine.
 
I promise.
