Why I Write

by Tison Stoner
Oregon City, OR

I write to show the inside of who I am, when in need to. I write to say everything, when it feels like my lips are sewn shut. I write to make a place that’s better than where I’m at. I write to show girls that I have a soft side . Me give my heart to a girl ya right. I write because I have nothing else to do. I write because I have to. I write to give you an idea on where I come from. I write to paint a show of a young gutter boy doing what he thinks is right and the trials and tribulations he goes through. I write to paint a picture in your mind, of the life I live. I write to let my mind run free down by the river. Why I write to remember those days down by the river or at the lake or playing in the rain. I’m from Oregon and everybody writes.
