Writing: What it means to me..

"The pen is mightier than the sword" .  I have not tried the might of a sword but I surely know the might of a pen. Being an introvert, my encounter with the pen was secretive. Neither anyone knew about it nor I kept those writings. Those writings were nothing but some petty stuff going on in my mind, but the after effect of them was something which can only be felt and not defined in words. That was when I realised my need and love of writing. Whether a vulnerable mindset or some stupid incident, just kept writing about it till my mind would get vacant and calm. Just pour down your secrets in the ears of the paper and you are free, ready to take on the world with renewed strength. Writing instills a sense of faith and confidence in me. The pen gives me the feeling of liberty and strength..  It liberates from mental burden and renews a person to take a fresh look at things. Its strange that such a small thing as a pen has such large capabilities. May be that is why it is said to be mightier than the sword...
