your* poem.
And how it inspired me to write that one poem.
and now this one.

I don't think you believed me when I said it was good.
But it was.
Usually I hate reading other people's work.
I guess that makes me a bit egotistic.
But every once in a while
I stumble upon something wonderful.

I reread it several times.
And probably will again after I finish writing this poem.
It was honest.
Most people are too afraid of what others will think to be honest
and therefore I find most of what I read to be lacking.
I used to be afraid too.

I've always stayed true to the first basic rule of writing,
Write what you know.
So this poem is about you.
