In response to the prompts at OctPoWriMo Day 9, and for UBC Day 9.
why write? I am asked
it heals me, old scars close,
it helps me forget woes;
it fills me, with new hopes,
it pushes me to just cope.
it frees me of my chains,
it rids me of my pains,
it gifts me with old smiles,
it stays with me each mile.
why write? I am asked
to which I ask back this
why not write my heart,
I love it, and it is bliss.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
There are so many reasons to write. And no reason to not write. Writing is what makes me be. Writing is what helps me see.
If I don’t write I am not me.

writing soothes..for me writing keeps me sane and others safe for if I don’t write i think of all the weird things I want do.
I agree, Philomel 🙂 It is soothing and yes, even my mind drifts to unwanted territories when I don’t write.

Yes, I can relate to your words here…we write to make ourselves happy….to unleash that joy and fervour which drive us to scribble…
