Question: What changes would you make to this poem!?
Why I Write

I write to release the pains, anger, and sorrow!.
I write to sustain my dreams for tomorrow!.
I write to free my soul!.
I write to because it gives me control!.
When I write, it is out of the deepest sincerity!.
That is why writing brings me so much clarity!.
I write to let you inside!.
I write to put my struggles aside!.
I write to bring the darkness to light!.
This is why I write!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I kept your verbs phrases, I attempted to match your rhyming scheme so the beats are the same, I put numbers where I made changes, I kept the tone and theme the same, I added pinache to your ending!. Very good poem- You definately have talent! Good work!

Here's how I'd do it!.!.!.

I write to release the pain, anger, sorrow,
I write to sustain my dreams for tomorrow;
I write to free my soul!.
I write to gain control!.
When I write, I write with the deepest sincerity -
That is why writing brings me such clarity!.
I write to let the world inside,
I write to put my struggles aside,
I write to bring the darkness to light -
This is why I write!.

Some, if not most of the changes, are to help rhythm and flow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it'd be better if the 5th and 6th lines were in the same "I write to !.!." format!. (I write to express my deepest sincerity; I write to see clarity) And the last line should stand alone (i!.e!. skip a line) in order to have more impact!.

And for 4th line, make it "I write to gain control" or something to that effect because the ungrammatical 'to because' detracts from the rest of the poemWww@QuestionHome@Com

I write to release the pains, anger, and sorrow!.
I write to sustain my dreams for tomorrow!.
I write to free my soul!.
I love it! It's almost perfect, but in some sentences i had to reread it to understand!. here:

I write to because it gives me control!.
When I write, it is full of my deepest sincerity!.
That is why writing brings me so much clarity!.
I write to let you inside!.
I write to put my struggles aside!.
I write to bring the darkness to light!.
This is why I write!.

Excellent ending by the way! I know it is something very minor, but I really love it the way it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's very good, I really wouldn't change it!.

After a second look, you could try to shorten some of the lines like

When I write!.!.!.!.

But that is only if you HAVE to change it!.

Again, it is very good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what about
"i write to free my troubled soul"!?
"I write to gain some sort of control"!?
"This is why i love to write"!?
