I Do This For You

I do this for me.

I write because it makes me feel alive

comfortable

at home.

Writing heals me. It heals wounds that I didn't even know I had.

Bringing out the creativity and ambition in me.

When my pen is touching that paper

or when my hands are forcefully pressing these keys,

my anxiety slowly dissipates

my fears drastically shrink

and everything just feels truly euphoric.

But I also do this for you.

I do this for the girl that is currently struggling

screaming into her pillow

asking the air for help.

I do this for you

so that you know

it is okay

and you are not alone.

That is why I do this. Not for money. Not for views. Not for popularity. Fuck all that.

Because the thought of my writing being able to touch just one person and my words being able to make you hurt a little less,

warms my heart in a way that I will never be capable of explaining.
