i am a writer. no matter what, that is what I am. my mid afternoon ice cream snack can turn into a 300 word poem. nothing comes easy to me except words. writing is an escape. it is a way to feel everything and nothing at the same time. writing to me is like breathing. without it my whole world would implode. my mind would fill with thoughts enough to fill the pits that have been left in my soul. if I did not write I would not live.
