"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.
