there are days where I feel pointless,
even a bit sad that my poems are
merely a drop in a vast ocean of
thoughts and expressions
why bother writing and sharing?
I sometimes feel insignificant,
and compare myself to others
and feel like I fall short.
there will always be people who write more clearly,
more beautifully with clear imagery,
but none writes like me.
I write, because I must.
sometimes the words build up inside of me,
and if I don't let it out it will slowly eat me up from the inside.
I write and share, because even though my words are like a drop
in a vast sea, at least like water I am connected to others by sharing a little snap shot of my life, thoughts and feelings.
I write, because it reminds me that I am worthy and loved enough to allow the beautiful act of creation to work within
me.
I am part of the process of life, I am part of the whole, I am part of the "We."
I am not alone.
I felt a bit overwhelmed with comparing myself to others, and feeling like my poems are not good enough. My self consciousness lead to me doubting myself, so I wrote a poem to rememind myself why I write, and that I am worthy and deserving to create, love and be loved.
