you can't get a grip.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

- Graham Greene.

I write
because I can.

I write
because I love to.
I write
because it's my escape.
I write
because the stories tell a tale
I write
because it keeps me thinking.
I write
because my brain hurts if I don't.
I write
because it keeps me from going crazy.
I write
because it's my only outlet to let it all out.
I write
because all the feelings in me are overflowing.
I write
because the feelings are like demons inside of me.
I write
because they are slowly eating my insides if I don't write.
I write
because words are the only things that can express how I feel.
I write
I write
I write
I write
And I write and write
just like how I think
and I write
and I think

on repeat.
