Why I write

I write to hear my soul speak to me,

To fulfill my promise to self,

To give a voice to my thoughts and to be the voice of reason at the end of the day.

I write to learn,

To teach the truth,

To hear and speak the truth.

I write to numb the negative thoughts,

To treasure the positives,

To gain understanding.

I write to free a spirit,

To enlighten a path,

To give love and to be love.

I write, and by writing the lioness in me roars to be set free from the cage,

And that makes me glow,

Gives me a reason to live,

Determination to grow. 

Hope becomes my second name and love my surname.

I write in my happiest and saddest moments.

I write in my strongest and weakest moments,

And I cherish every single day that goes by under the sun.

I write a story untold,

To see the unknown and the hidden. 

I write to serve, to heal, to mend the broken pieces

And restore life.

I write.
