I Write

I am still finding my voice.

After many years, many forms and many inspirations.

I am still finding my voice.


Sometimes it comes quick.

Like a torrent that I try to tap

with a few feeble words.


Sometimes it is simply gone.

I feel dried up, used and empty.

It has vanished along with my will

to capture it

to render it

to make it whole.


I spent years trying to perfect and mold

what I wanted to say.

Then I realized

I am still finding my voice.
We will never have that " perfect voice", some days are harder than other to express ourselves, but our voice is who we are, what we believe in and they are all unique. So raise that voice, lol

Perfectly written and stated about the feelings all of us seem to battle, on a journey to forever conquer. Your voice is heard through your words alone if nothing else..

@SW-User but you have an appreciative and enthusiastic muse now. Focus on that. :)

@Sorrowfulgaze I absolutely agree. I have one on my hands that has ALWAYS appreciated and valued my writing even when they were for someone else. Those things still hurt..words are a precious gift

The words are you so its like ignoring the best part of you.

Your true voice is as is.... in the moment, raw, uncut, unfiltered.
Let it fly.

@HotMessExpress102 So true. Live in the moment and see what happens next.

The best part of writing is that you solidify each particular moment. Doesn't matter if it's perfect or not, you grabbed ahold an didn't let go, regardless of the pain or pleasure @Sorrowfulgaze

That is true it is captured one way or the next. Your raw emotions and thoughts captured for all time for better or worse of course.
