why do I write?
do I write for me?
does putting down these words
help me to set myself free?

why do I write?
do I write for you?
so you'll know you're not alone
I sometimes feel the same too?

yes I write for me
expression heals my heart
I let go of the sadness
and find a new place to start

yes I write for you
and I hope it eases your soul
to know we all go through those emotions
it's happiness and sadness that makes us whole
