Stephan,

Who are you writing for, if not your self?  Even if it's to transfer some idea to another, is it still not writing for your self? For your piece of mind to be heard?  To be shared? 

metaphor

1533, from M.Fr. metaphore, from L. metaphora, from Gk. metaphora "a transfer," especially of the sense of one word to a different word, lit. "a carrying over," from metapherein "transfer, carry over," from meta- "over, across" (see meta-) + pherein "to carry, bear"
