You asked me why I write these words Well I can tell you one thing I don't write for you Or the strangers that will read them I write to clear my mind Get rid of all my thoughts To dislodge those memories I have constantly fought I write to express what I feel In a calm and collected way To wipe my slate clean And erase my bad days I write to run To escape From a world I am sick of And all the pressures of the day So no, I don't write for you Or for the strangers out there I write for myself So I don't have to care
