Why Do We Write?

I was thinking about this, and wrote this poem down.

The world writes

To bring light into their darkest moments

 

People write

To express their most vivid emotions

 

Some write

To describe their wildest dreams or worst nightmares

 

We write

To breath life into unspoken words

 

Most write

To discover something lost within themselves

 

I write

To color my soul with my words

 

Why then?

Do you write exactly?

"We write
To breath life into the unspoken words"
I liked this stanza a lot. I guess, a lot of us write because of this. We write what it is we can't say in reality.
I write simply, whatever it is my mind wants to say, again 'unspoken words,' words i wouldn't say. In reality, I wouldn't alk about what it is I write, writing expresses the flaws and what it is that happens around us, writing is a sanctuary that we all spread and paper. My writing hs never gone as far as into being vividly emotioned.
So here it is, I write because, writing brings colors of other things tht reality can never bring. To extract things I want to be expressed through words in the eys of those who see what it is I feel and plus writing helps me distract myself into the unkown. Sorry I just went right of the scale here, but i guess you catch my drift.

Rad read ;)

Why do I write?
I write because the words I speak aren't enough. When I speak, people don't take me seriously. When I write, people listen, because they realize that they way I think and the way I write appeals to them. It's a nice feeling when people understand you too.
"Some write. To describe their most wildest dreams or worst nightmares."
That's deep, it's true and there's something deep in it.

I put my thoughts on this topic into words in 'Lightning Rod' - on my blog. Just a couple of points however. Your 'most wildest' is a double adverb - 'wildest' would have been sufficient. 'Into the unspoken words - the word 'the' is unnecessary - 'Into unspoken words' is more succinct. Cheers!

Yes! Yes! Yes! LOVE IT! I totally agree and now am crazy about this poem, friend! :) You know why I write? I write for three reasons...

1. I write to live and live to write
2. There is nothing more satisfying, in my opinion, then a new notebook and pencil on my desk
3. The world can think what they want...but nothing will stop me from writing the stories that I know need to be told in this place we call the universe

I write to release all the thoughts, feelings, story line, rhymes, concepts, questions, and beauty that is continually clogging up my mind. Like a bad ear worm, they won't leave until they're attended to.
In that sense, writing is "letting go" of something within.
Maybe to put it behind you, or stare at it face to face.

It's a way of coping, appreciating, adoring, questioning, approving, and mourning all that we experience. And therefor, it is vital to our lives. ^-^

A very reflective piece.
Thank you for posting.

I write because my muses constantly nag me to do so. Never a moments peace with that lot. Cast them out I would, but I'm afraid that I might be one of them as well.

Why is everything leaving me speechless today? This was really good.
I write to find out new things about myself and dig deeper into the way I think about things.
I write to discover another sheath the world has to offer.
I write to find something fresh in the most trivial cases.
I write to make people understand and to look at things in another light.
I write to make myself believe that things are possible.

I write to make me and other people happy.
