I write because
there are things in my head
that will never be heard
unless they are written
in poetry or prose.
I write because
the only way I understand myself
is if I express myself.
I write because
words coming from my tongue
fail in comparison
to the ones coming from my fingers.
I write because
every phase of my life needs explaining
and all my thoughts
can't stay in my head forever,
can they?
I write because
I appreciate every form of art
be it writing, drawing, dancing, singing...
I write because I know
what it is like to have things bottled up
and how it feels when everything explodes within you.
Need I truly explain
why I write?
I write, therefore I am.
Author notes
Yes, I stole the last line from Descartes`. Sort of...
Well, his quote was, "I think, therefore I am." But, hey, this poem's about writing xD
