Importance of Writing

I write to express the way i think about something. It is difficult sometimes to get a point across to people if they don't want to listen, writing gets one's attention and they can choose to read or not to read what i have to say. When talking people can ignore me, but when they are read what i have to say and my views it captures attention if they are interested.
It is important to get the opinions and views across to people. If no one knows how you feel about something it isn't important. Although stories are sometimes not quite coming across as opinion, music asnd poetry and art can convey a message much better. These forms of art burts with emotion and truly show exactly the point and opinion of the issue at hand.
It is difficult for me to come up with an image or metaphor for my writing but when asked to do so i could only thing of my soul, its shows my true colors, the only place you can find the real, raw emotions. Its what i hold in, the time i express what i feel to those who would never know. There is no way to fully and completely know someone until their emotions are poured out in front of you, its a way to find out the truth about someone.
