I am a writer. Being a reader, I have a love of words. Poetry is a small part. And when the words appear and are scrambled in my head, I feel the need to give them life.
I can take a few words spoken by a stranger and bring those words into a poem. THAT my friend is my creativity. Yet most of my poems are of my inner self.
I hold on to a lot of self doubt. I fail to feel worthy of my own meager needs. A compliment given to me warms me through my whole self. It opens the door to write more. Often a few words from a song on the radio will inspire me to write. I want to make another smile. To have them think and consider their world a valuable place.
We all have shared our needs to FEEL. It takes only a few words to realize a 'braggart' is simply instead a confessor.
