I may not be Walt Whitman or William Wordsworth or Robert Frost. But I am human and just as Whitman and Wordsworth and Frost wrote, so too can I write.
So too can I share with strangers words that express my humanness because even if I'm not famous, I feel, I see, I hear, I simply exist.
Isn't that what poetry does? Reminds us that we all experience this world similarly, We all grieve, We all seek, We all love, We all want, We all cry, We all wonder, We all simply exist.
And that is enough for me to write, for you to write, and even if we don't get recognition, It's about conveying this notion of existing.
