Why do I Write?

1 No one can seem to hear me,

because they don't want to,

and so I just write my words down...

2 Because I am forgetful.

I remember this

and need to make a concrete proof

of my unique case of amnesia...

3 There's a lot in my head

that needs to be said

and they need to go

out and be free...

4 Because I have nothing

else good to do

but to stare blankly

and think to write

and write to be sane...

5 I need to keep my sanity...

6 Because it's the only thing

keeping me from

the edge of normalcy...

7 Because I am Different...

8 I hate myself for being different...

9 I love myself for being different...

10 Writing keeps me and my multiple realities neutral and at peace...

11 Because the feeling

of gripping a pen

and leaving tattooed marks on paper

amazes me.

Arouses me...

12 It makes me happy...

13 Because I am sad and sadder still...

14 Because I am human and need to experience

Happiness, especially in Writing...

15 Because they need to know,

but they don't care.

People need to care...

16 Because there must be someone

who feels the same out there...

17 They need to know

I exist...

18 I exist and breathe...

19 Words are my air

and I only breathe this air...

20 This keeps me alive...

21 Writing is my life....
