Why do you? (Part 2)

by Cainer   Apr 2, 2009


What do you hope to achieve when you write
Is is easier to explain the things you feel
The sadness within and the mask that covers it
Is it better for you to write instead of read

Do you write because you can make things rhyme
Write things out of vanity. In the hopes it will make you money
Or do you write to free yourself from your worries
To get feelings off your chest. To rid yourself of your demons

Do you write in the hopes that some one will learn from your mistakes
Do you write thinking some one will agree with what your saying
Hoping that at least one person sees the truth in your words
Sees the belief behind the screen. Looks beyond flesh to see the true you

Why do you write out the feelings that in all likely hood you have never told another
The dark places of your mind and soul put out there for strangers to read
Every secret and every fantasy you've ever had put up for grabs
Tell me what is it you hope to gain when you write?
