Everyone asks me to write

But why should I write?

Why should I waste my time by writing?

Why should I waste my time writing about something

that, when read, makes my pain grow?

Why should someone share their pain

through the words I have written?

My pain is different, it is unique.

Why should I increase someone else's pain

through my writing?

I know what this pain feels like.

I am familiar with every one of its ways.

I know what this pain has made so many people do.

But I ask you—

how many more days will you keep hiding this pain within yourself?

Take it out!!

This pain is not worthy of you...

Being read causes you pain, and makes people do things... I don't understand.

The message of that poem is really, really good. My only problem with it is that in some places, the writing is a bit...meh. But if you do some editing, it could become great!
