I write

I write because words come.

I write because it eases the wounds.

I write because I need to give voice to the victim.

I write because I need to heal.

I write because I am becoming.

I write because I am learning.

I write because I move.

I write because I breathe.

I write because if I did not, I would not.

I write because it is how I live.

I write because words are balm

I write because there is no other way.

I write because I am weary.

I write because I want to leave it here.

I write because it is where life is.

I write because Life.
