Addicted to

writing,

I shake poetry

out of my sleeves.

Drunk with

celestial parade

of shiny words,

tumbling into

rising sun,

praying to

the muse hiding

behind me

in black voids

of rejection.

Time down drain

of moneyless pit,

coded language

that only writers

understand.

Roaring visions

and echoes

resonating,

seeing the world

from my perspective

without winning

or losing.

Mood changing

poetry therapy

polished trances

as I crave

the high

that only writing

can bring.

I drink of it

deeply in

vertigo

of love.

The pen will always listen.

The page won't turn away.

Even a sky full of clouds I could turn to a sunny day were I to ink it to the page, or be inspired. 

I write because I found out my mind was a liar, and I needed a way to hold it accountable.

I write because every single syllable actually means something, and i know too little truth in this world.

Yet the first reason,

Since I could hold a pen,

Was that, 

I write because I was 

a lonely little girl, 

in a world who couldn't care less. 

many people write just as a passion or as a career 

I write as a way to alleviate the pain

I write because it forces me to deal with what I feel 

to talk and to convey my emotion into words 

so That I can stop taking out my pain on myself 

so I can be a better person

I write because it causes me to escape into whatever reality I wish to live in 

I often write from a dark perspective and about my relationships because It is  easy for me to write about that, than write about my battle with mental illness 

because I fear being seen as crazy 

also I have alaways been insecure and writing gives me confidence and power

The pen becomes my knife and I can stab my pain into my paper not my skin 

I began writing in second grade , I took up writing because I was severely bullied and then I stopped for awhile then I picked it up again after I lost my best friend kary 

then I reached middle school constant bullying and other crap that I will not ever write about or tell you and then high school again bullying and past things rising in my chest and causing me to pick up the pen again and write 

writing is my therapy. Ever since then I have never stopped writng I am always writing 

But I came here so I could stop hiding my poems in the cracks of mattress so my family wouldn´t find them they don´t want to write they say it´s a waste of time 

also they would throw away my notebooks

so I would write my poems and dig a hole in the ground in my backyard and stuff them there also many times I would write a poem or a story and flush it down the toilet or throw in the field in the back of the house fearing they would read my stuff 

when I say I write to not feel sad I mean that 

I am screaming in my writes alaways because I am fighting with trying to keep all the craziness in and not telling people everything I deal with because I hate sympathy I don´t want sympathy I want to be understood 

I am strong woman 

not pathetic 

because I have a weak heart 

so don´t think you can fuck with my emotions and get away with it 

I write

So my writing gets better

And as I write

My writing does get better

So I write

To become a better

Writer

As I become a better

Writer

I also become a better

Person

Even if a more lazy one

Still, a better

Person.

I write because my soul leaks.

I write to capture the drippings of my heart. 

I write to feel something there. 

I write because I am lonely. 

I write because my soul leaks.

I write.

i write 

because it is better

than drowning in silence

this is my vent 

for emotions i normally hide

i do not have to lie here

i am not soulless

i write because it is a reminder

that people see me

that i am not a failure

that i am alive 

and that i have not died yet

i write, because 

this is my life and i must live it

This is unusual but I am going to put down my own entry here. I really want to get to know people who create the high quality content Prose is known for.

For me writing is one of the ultimate skills capable of constantly improving and even capable of transforming ones life when used properly by brave individuals who are both fearless and determined to change their lives through writing. 

Writing is my favorite thing to do. I love to spend hours at a keyboard typing something witty, something well-researched, and eventually sharing it with the world through the internet. I am happy I live in an age where my age is not capable of preventing me from writing and being taken seriously as a writer. I am happy I live in an age where through the internet my writing is capable of being seen and reacted to, without any barriers. 

I write for a variety of reasons. Depending on my mood I can write to educate people, or I can write to get people to take my arguments seriously (and to come to the same conclusions I have), or solely to entertain. I also possess an unshakable belief that writing is a tremendous skill and one that can change lives and even the world, particularly in this age where even language is no longer an obstacle to those who are truly determined to overcome it. Writing now matters more than ever because the barriers to entry to writing are fading away now more than ever. No longer is age a factor for serious writers, or language, or even the lack of a publisher.  

I write because I want to leave a mark on the world around me. I want to do this through entertainment, through education, and through affecting how people think. I want to challenge how people think. I want to make people reconsider their positions, while also granting them entertainment. I want people to consider new positions and challenges to their beliefs seriously, while giving them something in return: entertainment. For me writing quality literature is entertaining and reading writing of high quality is also entertainment. 

I write because writing enables me to strength my voice. I write because through writing I can change minds and converse seriously with other historians, with other thinkers and people who believe they can use their writing to shape their reality. It's remarkable to me that I can write this freely and I intend to use that as much as I can, and eventually I believe I'll be able to make a living through my own writing. 

I would love to know why you write! 

Writer, author, literary junky

    It doesn`t matter if it`s genius or funky

Paint a picture with your pen

    Take a breath and count to ten

Never stop the words that bleed

    Via the ink for all to read

Give your gift of fantasy

    Wisdom, enlightenment, history

If you hold back what`s inside

    Keep it safe and don`t confide

You will soon be constipate

    Full of regrets that seal your fate

Just let flow the ink and blood

    Never try to stop the flood

If writing is your gift and drive

    You`ll need to write just to survive

It`s like oxygen in the air

    Giving life when words we share

We have ink flowing through our veins

    Into our pen onto paper it drains

Allow your mind to be reprieve

    Trap the reader, make them believe

Sweep them up and twist them dry

    Reach inside and make them cry

The written word holds so much power

    Plant an oak or just a flower

You can give a succulent taste

    Or a whole meal leaving no waste

Give it up, what`s in your head

    The audience waiting to be fed

Spill your mind for all to see

    Our writing is our destiny.
