why do i write

sometimes, i just want to breathe. sometimes, i just want to feel. and sometimes, i just want to be still.

you're all that i wanted. you're all that i needed. and i won't forget the way you love me.

i read a magazine article about teenage writing. if i remember correctly, these young adults were labeled as, "the depressive poetic type." (which i have heard more than i can count.) it basically implied that young adults write purely because they are depressed, tortured, or both. granted, a lot of younger teens write because they are experiencing so much they can not comprehend and the majority of them have no one that will listen to them. these thoughts come out jumbled and incoherant, but dark and angry.

i don't write because i am tortured. i write because i feel like it. because i feel something inside of me and i just want to let it go. i'm not fifteen anymore, although sometimes it feels like i am just as lost as i was then.

writing is an .escape.

Y heart,
