writing leads you to
places
you could before only
imagine

when you ask
"why do you like to write?"
you're missing out on
something great

the question is a double-edged
sword
because there are so many
answers
to such a simple question

writing is creation

writing is passion

writing is discovering

writing is believing

writing is comfort

writing is home

and i choose to partake in this art
to ease some hidden burden
and it tastes like relief

and it is in this
that the loneliest people of the
world
are the most free.
