I write because— A sudden pause. Why do you write? There is a reason to it right? "For pain!" they might say, "For fame!" cries another. "For glory!" they might argue "For defeat." some would bother. Why do you write? A student giggled, "For class to be dismissed." "Oh because you exist." A romantic chanted. The metaphors you paint vividly, letters and punctuations you bring closer. What urges you to bring into existence, Works of art from bleeding hearts. Why do you really write? because I feel, yet they tell me I am numb because I learn, yet they show me I am dumb They tell me I should change my mind, As I am only wasting my time. I write because... there's a thousand reasons that I shouldn't but a million more that tells me I should.
