I write to make them listen because in a world full of screams I whisper what I need.
I write so I can lose myself in the paper world I create.
I write to show the world who I really am.
I write so I can free myself from the darkness and the hate.
I write to stop the rumors that can end a life.
I write so I can learn to swim in the sea of lies and treachery.
I write to save myself from what has become of what I knew

I think it would be really awesome if you wrote "I write" as the beginning line and the end line to tie it up.
