"Why do you write?" "Poetry? That's for losers." "Why do you waste your time writing?" Why do I write? To capture the way the sun reflects off the water. To capture the way ashes glide through the wind. For even a burnt shell of a city can become glittering and soaring with the right words. Because it is the only thing that stops me from breaking down. It is a way to let my feelings go. Because there is a burning fire inside me. Guiding me to find the right words. "Why do you write?" "So I can live"

Why Do I Write?
"Why do you write?" "Poetry? That's for losers." "Why do you waste your time writing?" Why do I write? To capture the way the sun reflects off the water. To capture the way ashes glide through the wind. For even a burnt shell of a city can become glittering and soaring with the right words. Because it is the only thing that stops me from breaking down. It is a way to let my feelings go. Because there is a burning fire inside me. Guiding me to find the right words. "Why do you write?" "So I can live"
Why do YOU write?
