I’m writing this because of the “Why I write” prompt from The Red Dress Club and because I just haven’t written anything for TRDC in a while. I’ve been…. unmotivated. In fact, I didn’t even realize what day (or date) it was this morning until I turned on the “internet” on my phone and read some tweets.
I’ve been writing since childhood, but I never really put much thought into why I write.
I write
To open the drain
To release the pain
To feel past the fear
To remember all I hold dear
Not to tell
But to remind others there’s more to life
Than sadness and strife
I write
To move
To free my mind
To pass go
To go everywhere
Not to leave what I have
But to remind others life is
What we make of it
I write
To free my spirit
To inspire my soul
To ignite the love
To infuse my passion
Not to forget
But to remind myself
That I hold the key to my own happiness
I write
To forget what I can’t let go
To remember what I have
To share with others
To let them know they aren’t alone
Not to teach
But to remind others to reach
Beyond what life brings
Why do you write?
