The World Around Me
I write because
It is my opportunity
To speak
With my own voice.
To just be.... me.
I write because
I hunger
Not to compel
Or inspire or entertain.
I just hunger
To make sense
Of the world around me.

The urge to write for your own understanding of the world around you is the purest form there is. True art isn’t meant to appeal to the masses, and is often most effectively fulfilled when it is cathartic. A very refreshing read, thank you for sharing.
