Millions say writing is what saved them.
Writing is all that they have.
And I am one to stand up, and agree.
Writing saved me from the dark hole my mind was creating when I had depression.
Writing saved my life, and it wasn't easy.
Sometimes I would just sit and look at an empty page, its not because I didn't know what to write, but because I didn't know where to start.
My pen gave me a voice, and the paper had no judgment.
I have cried, laughed, have gotten angry, and happy with what I have reread but Im glad I have it all on paper.
Writing saved my life, I write so I won't die.
