Why I Write
I have found that when I write and expose my inner self, I serve as a counselor to my own soul. I heal myself from pain, stress, and unexplained emotions that are at times unrealized until the pen begins to magically bring the paper alive
Why I write
Because self-expression is enlightenment
Why I write
Because the pen is insignificant, once used, it’s mighty
Why I write
Because there are many loud voices, and my voice must be heard
Why I write
Because writing is the outward expression of who I am and what I feel
Why I write
Because I am not judged on the basis that I am a woman, my writing is faceless
Why I write
Because I am not solely an expression of the blackness of my skin, I am much more
Why I write
Because I am “Superwoman” and my burdens make my experiences valuable to others
Why I write
Because my tongue becomes tied, but my mind and my pen allow words to flow freely
Why I write
Because reason and reality are ever changing, if you fail to note them they disappear
Why I write
Because I am an enigma; and you will never know who I am, unless I tell you
Why I write
Because writing is the calculated release of all that is held inside of me
Why I write
Because writing has become my spine, my support
