I write to fly,

to soar and dip

or float away

on a sailor's ship

to swing through trees

and swim with ease

a moment to sieze

time to freeze

but most of all

(forget the jewels)

I write to

break the rules >:)

I am a socially awakard person. Therefore I am in love with Writing than Speaking. I struggle to find words that make up a conversation than a written sentence. I try not to speak much as I might hurt you through speaking than writing. Speaking has to be at the moment (I call it Instant Information) and on the spot which is difficult for me... I still could not fathom (and admire) NORMAL people who socialize. How fluent their information flows from their brains to their mouths and to their listeners. Yes, I tried to "improve" my social skills... But no matter how many books I read about being a normal sociable person, people around me call me a try-hard or pretending to be sociable which is frustrating. I have so much information in my head that wants to erupt out - writing is like a water tab, it enables me to control and filter the flow. So that is why I write (texting, emailing, writing, typing etc).

It is a calling is it not! Ya'll writers know you are drawn to the pen like a bug to the porch light. You are compelled to get it out! You know, someone out there needs it, loves it, wants it and keeps coming back for more. Writing (and of course reading) is a nutrient in the vitamin cabinet of our best lives. Writing can be likened to an awesome roll in the sack. You give and take and everybody involved ends up satisfied.

That is why I write!

The Challenges on Prose really inspire me! I am not a professional writer, I just enjoy writing to release my thoughts. To challenge myself mentally, to think outside of the box.

I did not know about Prose until recently, when a friend told me about it. I love to write secretly, no one in my family knows I write, just my friend who inspired me to start up again.

I write to rid myself of some bothersome thoughts, thoughts I can't and won't talk about with family/friends. Its great to be able to have Prose to write to, to meet new people, have the inspiration available at my fingertips and out of my head. :)

I am typing this because I cannot sculpt or paint to date

and I cannot draw so much as a single straw!

and right now I can hardly pen a thing

or even very much think at all...

What happened to my silver screen, to the daily dose of dream?

Is this how it all comes, in my end, one by one

with every blessing stripped away;

poorer than a pauper even

with nothing left

to say?

So I write... not a poem, nor prose per se,

No, a rite of passage, to clear the way...

towards the global canyon of a universal ear;

For wrights of any medium, it would be wrong

to turn away... left, from righting the errors of one's life;

And so with bated breath... I write.

When I feel suffocated in this world of insensitivity, writing is my outlet. The Prose is the lone place where I can freely depict, analyze, and allocate the tangle of thoughts that lace through my brain.

Writing gives me purpose. Words are what make me feel an undesirable from of beautiful. Literature expresses my emotions with more accurately than anything else in this world. Being able to create complex pieces of art using only the English language is incredible. I will not let my age demarcate the how I am viewed by society.

The realm of Prose has changed my life. I am constantly learning how to improve my writing from amazing, talented authors. Authors who care about your success, and will provide you with advice vital for growing as a poet.

The pleasure of letting ideas flow through my body, and drip though my fingertips is what motivated me to begin writing. I hope to mark my page until the world is inspired. I can only hope that my pen will not run out of ink.

My life isn't the best, I barely sleep and I am constantly looking over my shoulder and thinking that I can't trust people for no reason. I don't have many friends, and the ones I do have either betrayed me or slowly got less and less close to me. I'm not trying to look for pity or anything, but I write because I want to get away from reality. I love reading fantasy or writing because it makes me think about something other than how I currently live. I don't like being alone without something to do because I start thinking negativly about myself, or convincing myself that I'm not good enough or something like that. When I write, I put all my energy into it, I put in my dreams, my nightmares, and my true feelings that barely anyone knows about. I mostly write poetry about bullying, so I'm pretty sure anyone who reads my writing can see that I was bullied a lot. But, writing for me is, I guess like an outlet. When someone close to me dies I write non-stop for days. It's just how I cope, I guess.

Because in a world that is all over the place, the best way to move forward is to understand yourself, and the best way to understand me is to get my thoughts out of my head without giving others the opportunity to judge them.

I am complex, I am hard to understand, I don't understand myself most of the time, I have so many thoughts and emotions that I need to express and to write it is the simplest form to do so.

The old a problem shared is a problem halved. My mind is a highway of different random thoughts, I stopped writing for years and the thoughts continued to build and ultimately self destruct. It allows me to access my own feelings and reactions, debate them in my mind, justify my responses, see others perspectives, it takes out the emotions of the situation and allows you to look at things from a more centred perspective.

I am not a chatter, I have no interest in burdenning others with my own thoughts and issues. That is a flaw of mine that I recongnise. I do have alot to say, most of which is just a load of random thoughts, random feelings and random emotions. Writing gets them out of my head and allows me to free up some space for every day living!

Writing is a personal thing, you can say what you like, what you feel and although I have just started posting on here, up until now it was for no one but myself. I can express myself better through written word. And sometimes I don't need advise, or discussion, I just need to unload my over active mind, to allow others things in.

Writing gets the weight off your shoulders, its a release, it allows you to access your own thought, second guess them and come to conclusions. Sometimes I'll start writing angry and by the end have realised..... hmmm..... maybe I am over reacting.

Simply...... it is cheaper than therapy.
