People ask me what
is it that I'm doing
when I deliver my
thoughts on paper
—there are tears and
quiet a few feelings
stirred—
I consider it joy
when I get them
to feel

And the answer to
that question comes
not with great advice
from years of being old
in this never-ending toil
—it's hardly the trick
to catch success
in your hands
because I'd like
to know that secret
as well

When people ask me
how I don't cry or crumble
whenever I harbor the
storms in my heart
—I smile and say that
I am born on a day
of turmoil by the sea
of monsters and strife

And the answer to
that question is simple
yet something people
have heard a thousand
times over
—it's not because I write
with years of study and
knowledge of forms
and all the rules
I write—not with pens
to stain paper
with thoughts
or knives to cut
myself dry
Darling—I write
with my heart
