Why I Write

I have but one love.
It is to write.
Write what I say and feel. For the sake of doing so.
I write for myself.
For the Joy I get knowing I can construct beauty with no known tools.
But just my mere mind and a few words or a few sounds.
Its a high. A high I cant get from any drug in the world.
Its the high of accomplishment and hard work.
Passion and commitment.
I cant stop writing. Even if I am the only one to read my words.

I cant express how great it feels to know others enjoy my work.
I cant ask for anything more. Than knowing my words got someone through the night.
I have been through those nights, where nothing was bright.
Nothing could lift you up and out of the hole you have dug,
I have been there. It is no place anyone should be.
I want to devote my life to helping those people.
Who were and are still stuck like me.

I want my passion to find them
and carry them to safety.
breathe me. hear me, feel me.
I will be heard, felt and touched Not for fame. Not for money.
But for the people who will benefit from my life story.
I devote my life to it. I helped a few out in the past.
It's not enough. I only have motivation to save lives.
With words and abstract art.
Its so selfish actually, Because It's that high that I need to acquire.
The high of a hero, The feeling that you saved a life with your words.
Nothing can compare to the feeling.
That someone is still breathing, because of you.

This is why I write. This is why I will continue to write.
This is why writing and art will be my life.
Its my passion and commitment.
Its my devotion and dedication.
not acquire, nor desire. but the NEED,
To pick those people back up
and to get them to press on
that gets me through the night.
