Why do you write?

It lessens my loneliness. I feel like writing helps me communicate with someone somewhere. So even though I'm alone and lonesome, I might actually be finding a kindred soul to be friends with.
 
I could write pages on this, but simply put; a compulsion for release, to untangle the mess of thought and to actually exist
 
Writing is the only way I can express my emotions. I don't show them, I put them on paper.
 
i joined bl to find out how use dexidrine as effectively as possible, non-recreationally. i came back to find out if i needed it for another reason?

this is as much writing as i do...
 
I haven't written in a little bit. I need to make time for it again though, I do miss it.

When I do write, I write because I kind of free write from my sub conscious, I don't plan much of what I do write. It's an enjoyable exercise that stimulates my mind whilst in some manner of sorts acts as a cathartic release.

I also write because it comes freely and easily, I don't force it when I do. Maybe that's apart of why I haven't written much lately.
 
I write to recite anything that comes to mind
without a microphone, so I write the things down on my phone
To me it's entertainment, but only the raps
honestly, not giving a fucking shit when im reading somebodys poetry
Im sick to death of these loud school kids
"the next cunt to yell gets pelted with egg shells"
and im not joking, im a chicken
with 2 legs and wings, you can cook me for dinner
have me sitting on your dinner roll probabaly for 5 minutes
before you decide you dont like it, and no I dont like beef
but fuck it i'll take it from hater's spraying like ammunition
players play and try to diss you over the internet
the only thing sicker then be an infant with sids
is being a little wickeder and come quicker at ends
so call me a jerk, I put these rhymes down in 15 minutes before work
lost track of the subject, im sorry for that
you ask about this subject im attack with both hands
 
Is it not like trying to harness some great pet wolf that growls and bounds through the snow, hard pads crunching at the impacts as it drags you along with it; in a great rush of lyrical signifiers, the voice bleats, the mind joins the dots, but never does the end product meet with the expectation, but it doesn't matter, because...because, the act itself involves so much in itself.

Or not; personal preference, really.
 
I write because I'm a writer. It's as much of a part of me as my eyes are brown. When I first started writing, it didn't take me long to realize that fact.

I feel the same way, exactly. Rilke discusses this a lot in Letters to a Young Poet. He says if you are a true writer - maybe restated, if you possess the curse and compulsion - than you MUST write. That is your life, and without it is death.
 
It helps me step further in life. Something to help me remember my past and value the present and I think of the future when I write to help me cope.
 
sometimes I write because I have no one to talk to. Other times, it makes me feel more organized, or I need to rant. And somtimes, I just feel like writing my thoughts down.
 
sometimes it feels like it's important to express an idea. it's like something is working with me, guiding me, and pushing me to get words out (and other projects).

i guess some might call that god, or a spirit, or a muse, or an alien (tinfoil)... i call it the part of my brain that i've been learning to work with and master through psychedelic drug use ;)

*cringe* I'm sorry, and it's nothing against you, but I hate hearing people say things like this, that is, unless it's an individual's actual profession.

It's the idea that an individual must be born a certain way, that the stars must be perfectly aligned, that an individual is a writer, musician, artist, or whatever else for some greater, inexplicable, almost god-given, magical reason.

I write because, for whatever the reason, it's the medium that I am most attracted to and the medium that I use most often, but I'm not sure that I would ever go so far as to say "I am a writer."
