I don't remember when the **** my poetry became about pleasing people or getting votes or views. I don't remember when my writings were only created to be approved by a friend. I don't know when things became about success or money. I don't know why it turned into pleasing a lover. But as soon as it did become about those things, I lost my spark, and suddenly writing was a chore. I'm done with burning in my small spotlight with nothing flowing on paper, I just want to be free. It's time I get back to writing the way I used to. For my emotion. For my passions. For myself.
