Day 23: Why I Write

I am nothing without words.
The strings of letters that confused me
as a toddler now shape my entire being.
My mind has memorized the
curve of each phoneme and
my hand automatically
scrawls out every thought.
I am nothing without words.
I write when I am
in love and in pain.
I write to defeat the cliche that
"Actions speak louder than words"
and I write to strengthen another
that says
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
I write because a picture is worth
so much more than a thousand words
and I write because I need the world
to know that
there is nothing
more powerful

than the
words.
