These words

Mostly I write because it's easier to write than to talk. When you're typing up a tale, no one questions it when you say things like "the water was as blue as his eyes that day," or "the sunlight tasted like chocolate on my tongue." If you say that kind of thing in everyday conversation, you get put in the loony bin (I'd know). When I write, I can turn the crazy into beauty- I can take the twisted thoughts and untangle them and make sense of them. I can remember things better when I write them, when I throw in the details and the metaphors. People always ask me questions I can't seem to answer- my tongue trips on the words that my hands don't hesitate to scrawl. These words are my very soul, the only things that seem to make sense.
