Why I Write?

00This is a question that I have been asked a number of times and I am sure that in the future too, this question is going to come and seek its answer.
I have asked myself this question too. Why do I write?

The Answer: I write because..

Inside me, residing are voices of silence
and a lot, yearning to be said.
But voices of silence cannot speak
and for them my pen bleeds.
Of things like pebbles
draining in rain
and feelings
moving to surface.
In silence I can say them all.
The Stories beneath my eyes,
they become yours.
I fell in love once.
I fell for all the words.

– Manvendra Vidyarthi
