Why I Write
Written by: MARKEZZACUI
Writing for me is the ultimate freedom. When my pen touches paper I can be my true self, no boundaries and no limitations. I get the opportunity to open up and share my heart with the world. I have yet to find any material thing that can amount to this feeling, nor do I care to find one. Through my writing I can encourage as well as inspire. I have grown to understand the sheer power behind the words I write, so I have a duty to uphold. A great deal of maturity is required to take on such a position, however I am willing to fill the position; I am willing to write for a bigger purpose, a better day, and a meaningful cause.
T he art of writing is my reason for abstinence because my writing consumes my time and has proven to be my ultimate lover.
The world is indeed a complex place and through my writing I am able to keep it simple. I can channel into those things that are of the utmost importance to me. I’d be misleading you to say that I do not have assistance with my craft. The help I receive comes from that infinite source of power, which I choose to call God. There may have been a time when I questioned why I had been given this gift or what I was supposed to do with it. I no longer misuse valuable time with such questions because the answer is more than clear. God has chosen me as an instrument of what He truly is capable of. He is able to show how mistakes can be assets, how one man’s trash is indeed another man’s treasure. He can show how hope and the ability to instill that into the masses in one of the purest forms of love: His love. He has shown how all of those things can be displayed. God has done so by allowing me to write and allowing you to read.
Writing for me is the ultimate healer. It’s the alcohol I no longer drink. It’s the weed I no longer smoke. Words are the cocaine I refuse to put in my body today. The art of writing wakes me up and puts me sound asleep during the night. Words for me are the vitamins and medications that I refuse to pay for. My only obligation is to use my words as they were intended and designed… to elevate the character of myself and increase the level of thinking of those who care to read. Writing for me is the masterpiece painting that I have yet to actually paint because through words I am able to create a visual. The art of writing is my reason for abstinence because my writing consumes my time and has proven to be my ultimate lover.
A great deal of maturity is required to take on such a position, however I am willing to fill the position; I am
willing to write for a bigger purpose, a better day, and a meaningful cause.
I write simply because I must. MARKEZZACKUI has chosen to answer to a higher calling; a continuous representation of the good nature that is embedded within us all. I write because I love to and I write because I can; I write because I believe and know I was chosen. I am honored to still be growing as a man who writes. Being that I was able to wake up today, I am pleased to be able to do the same for others… wake them up. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of the stressed out mother of two, the father who receives no recognition, the unsure college student, the drug dealer caught up in false pride, the prison inmate on death row, the young man too afraid to tell the world he is gay—I think of these people on a regular basis. That is why I write.
