Why I Write

Don't Steal

Why I Write

Don’t steal what I used to heal

My words is my therapy

The one thing that keeps me sane

Helps put words to my pain

No don't take this away

It's my diary I chose to put on display

Full of emotions

With heavy heart

I write

With a broken heart

A few teardrops

I write

With all my life struggles

And a little self-doubt

I write

When I feel the words burning inside of me

Even when I am controlled by anxiety

I write

I use my writing to fight

Not for people to take words that they like

Writing is my life

    It's like salt to a wound when they steal our words

    A wonderful poem on how much writing can mean for someone! I can definitely relate as I write not only to express my creativity but also to get my thoughts and emotions out.

    I write for the same reasons! I think it's the purest form of writing personally! :) I am looking forward to more of your work.
