I don’t just write freely
I always feel trapped by purpose
as if writing has meaning
but its so much more
writing is my air
my soul suffocates without it
writing is a duty
I do it intentionally
exercising my demons by making them plain
fulfilling a promise I made to myself
a long, long time ago
to struggle through the uncertain times
because my mind is stronger than my fears
I can either choke on my aspirations
or thrive and surpass my wildest dreams
