Why do I write?

Why do I write?
I write because nobody hears my voice
Why do I write?
I write because it helps me make sense of the muddled words in my head.
My half thoughts- fledglings.
Why do I write?
Because if I help one person it will be worth the aching wrist, blistered fingers, hours of mental block.
Why do I write?
I write for my life, I write for my sanity, I write for survival.
Why do I write?
Because I haven't the confidence to act, or to talk aloud. My poems are the script to my life, the footnotes of my entire existence. Alice.
