i have been told that writing is stupid

pointless

worthless

i could do better

but i could do worse

y'know, i used to believe

that i was stupid

pointless

worthless

but then i started to write

i've written a bit, i would say

not a lot, though

but i've wanted to die

and i've wanted to live

writing has brought me everything

love, God, heartbreak, sadness, death,

everything

just as reading has.

but, writing. it isn't worthless.

it's an art, but i don't believe it's one that's dying.

some writing can make your blood go cold

can make it boil

some can make you laugh out loud

others can make you cry

writing.

i don't really care if it's worthless to you.

it's something i wouldn't give up.

but you can, if you want.

it's your choice.

i'm just telling you what it's done for me.
