I don't write to be heard.

I don't write for others to find comfort in my words.

I don't write to be understood.

I don't write for others to criticize my work.

Why do I write?

Poetry is not about who reads it,

Poetry is about who writes it.

I write to become a better poet.

I write to understand a little more about myself.

I write so I can sleep at night.

I write so I can listen to what my heart and soul have to say.
