Some of the reasons why I write

I write because I must, because I can't not write.

I write

because I tried once to abandon it entirely but couldn't; I couldn't even sleep that night

in a foolish attempt to get all the pain out of me

because I can't stop telling stories

to share the joy in me

because sometimes when I'm writing, I'm truly in another world

to let you feel how it was when I first fell in love

because there's little that compares with the feeling of having written

to share the rage lest it consume me

to find a way back to being human

I write because I must, because I can't not write.
