I write to release stress,
Tension,
Fear.
To just let it
F

L
Off me.
To tell others how I really feel, when I can’t say it to their face.

I write to tell myself that everything will be OK,
When things are rough,
And there is no one else around to tell me.

I write to open up my heart,
My mind,
To
EXPRESS,

I write to let my pen cry out words when my eyes will no longer shed T

I write to make to make no one else happy.
I write for me,
To make me stronger,
A better person,
A better writer.

I write to see my letters turn to words,
And my sentences into paragraphs.

I write to see the little pictures in my head change into something
BIGGER.
