Writing about Writing: A Journey into my Psyche

One month. 7,200 views. Thank you to all my readers! To commemorate, here’s a little bit about me.

Writing about Writing

I write because I need to write

Staying up all hours of the night

Venting until the skies turn light

And I finally feel alright

Writing on demand is so frustrating

Redoing, rewriting, and aggravating

Struggling with articulating

Stuck on details, fixating

Writing should occur with a stroke of inspiration

Like the crash and boom resulting in creation

In this age of instant gratification

I want it now! No hesitation

When I write, my soul breaks off a little piece

But like sharing a flame, it doesn't decrease

It's paradise and a sweet release

Finally finding peace

I write for myself to confront my fears

Not for a paycheck and not for the cheers

I write to let out all of my tears

And it's kept me going throughout the years
