Why i write

Why i writeThere is just one answer to what inspires me to write:
I write, because if I don't,
I will explode.
I write because the words pack themselves
So tightly inside my head
with all it's energy,
That if I don't get them out,
They will consume me.
I write hoping to encourage someone,
Somewhere, some day.
I write when nobody will listen.
I write to let my heart speak
To me and possibly to others.
If nothing else, I write so I can grow.
Grow into who I want to be.
Grow into somebody worthwhile
And worth listening to
When my words will be heard
Rather than read.
