I write to clear my head.
I write to clear the air.
I write so I can know what happened even if I wasn't there.
I write in the morning and sometimes when I eat.
I write for those who can't express themselves without the fear of being taken in their sleep.
I write for the misunderstood, the ones from broken homes.
I write so I don't forget and so that maybe someone out there can know they aren't alone.
I write for those who were told they sucked at everything they did.
I write for those who were believed to be geniuses, even as a kid.
I write for every guy who broke my heart and the ones I have yet to meet.
I write for the lady way back when who wouldn't give up her seat.
I write for the grave diggers, sinners, the teen moms, and the dweebs.
I write for those that after nothing's left they still remember they have their dreams.
I write for every person who has two sides and the sides we'll never see.
I write for the ones that watch on at freak shows and say "I'm glad that isn't me."
I write for the sluts, the jocks, the wannabes, and the ones that just wanted to be a part of a club.
I write for anyone who's ever been called weird or had their name dragged through the mud.
I write for the fat chicks, the skinny chicks, and the ones that are in between.
I write for anyone who doesn't feel good enough and is searching for a way out.
I write for the kids that overcome their heartache and all of their self doubt.
I write for the kids believe in Santa Clause and the ones who never knew.
I write so my children can be better than me or you.

I like it, cute. It sounds like are a nice person. the rhyme was fun even though it wasn't consistant, it more music rhyming rather than (sickle tickle) rhyming. But's fun, one question, is this all true? That awesome it some thing seems a little extreme. There are also some typos to be weary of. I write for

the kids believe in Santa Clause and the ones who never knew.
what is your intention behind this?
I write so my children can be better than me or you.

I don't like that, but that's totally me. Cause I am still technically a Youth so I AM the future. But blah
