Why do you write?

Three

What is one to do

when the lives of others are swimming inside you?

Do you let them die?

Why not justify

the lives of those inside your mind?

Why would you not give life unto those in your thoughts?

Let them breathe our air, despite the cost.

Do you have stories, filling your head to the brim?

Write them. Let them be heard.

Whether it's love and life, or death by the Sword.

You ask why I write

and the reason's not completely clear, not even tonight.

But I guess it could be

because I believe

the voices inside your head

are telling you what needs to be read.

What someone needs to hear

in order to calm their fear.

In order to bring happiness

when people are embraced in their/others crappiness (is that a word? Maybe...Oh well.)

And to give life to the characters of my imagination

(With or without their corporation)

I write to inspire

It's my desire

to share the stories stored in my subconscious

even when they are a bit obnoxious

So let's see

Reasons: there are (apparently) three

1.) So my characters can experience life and not die in my mind. So their lives can be relived by others within time.

2.) You never know what could touch someone's heart or make them see something in a whole new light when they've been stuck in the dark.

3.) To inspire someone in any way, no matter what date. No matter what season. To just write, with or without a reason.
