I write because it's easier
I write because That way I won't forget
I write the things I can't say
I write when I can't speak
I write when I feel alone, sad, mad, or even happy
I write because memories hurt but when you put them down on ink they get softer and bearable
I write when my chest hurts and my heart beats because they keep telling me to do it
Because that's the way I can transform everything that's inside
I write because there are dreams that deserve to be written and not forgotten
I write so my nightmares won't catch me when I'm being chased
I write because it's a painkiller
I write because it's the only thing I know how to do
I write because the noise of the pen or the clicks of the keys hides the whispers of sadness in the tears
I write to escape, but I also write to stay
I write because I can't help it
I write because it's everything I am
I write because it's the only thing I am
I write because when the thoughts get louder the words on the paper calm them down
I write to forgive
I write to survive
I write because I think that's how magic works
I write because I don't wanna be hopeless
I write so I can't feel what I feel
I write so I can feel better with the things I'm feeling
I write so I can be with my own
I write so I can know myself
I write so I can live with myself
