I write poetry because very little effort is needed on my part
I have no desire whatsoever to explain myself to anyone
I am transported to another place and completely unaware of my surroundings
The voices and opinions of others is of no significance to me
Something deep within my soul comes to surface one word at a time
Longing to feel accepted, loved, or valued, quietly begins to fade
The Spirit guides the pen and I become one with my thoughts
In the end, another piece of myself is released into the universe
And I am more freer today than I was yesterday
