Silence, I'd want all of it. Running so fast after that button was missed Too anxious to really make it a hit Among everyone, there'd be admiration A sun, or two. But the work wasn't up to par for you At least that's what I heard I don't write for anyone, as blunt as that may seem I still find myself looking for approval For the work already created I'm not looking for validation To create and be creative But often too afraid to strike out In dissassaproval Of work, I'm most vulnerable of. I don't ever want to create a piece that has no resolution To just leave an open wound or thought Left to be just that I feel obligated to share a brightening shade to my darkest moments In order for someone to truly benefit from my shared work That is why the pieces in my drafts, stay in draft. But what I can tell you is, I'm still not always ok. I feel like my life is kept in the drafts folder. Yeah, I'm always progressing in life, in the journey Even in what seem like standstill moments Of solitude and suffering. But that's the thing, I'm progressing So isn't all work, published or not in life, still a "draft"? None of our journies are over yet. Let's share our drafts And create our finished work, together

What if I published my drafts.
Silence, I'd want all of it. Running so fast after that button was missed Too anxious to really make it a hit Among everyone, there'd be admiration A sun, or two. But the work wasn't up to par for you At least that's what I heard I don't write for anyone, as blunt as that may seem I still find myself looking for approval For the work already created I'm not looking for validation To create and be creative But often too afraid to strike out In dissassaproval Of work, I'm most vulnerable of. I don't ever want to create a piece that has no resolution To just leave an open wound or thought Left to be just that I feel obligated to share a brightening shade to my darkest moments In order for someone to truly benefit from my shared work That is why the pieces in my drafts, stay in draft.
