Here We Are Again

It's been far too long since I wrote a poem.

Not one of those cutsie little blurbs that does nothing but rhyme.

But a REAL poem.

From the innermost parts of myself, poured out on paper.

...I've never been good at that.

I spend entirely too long on the format, on the word choice, on the phrasing to actually say something meaningful.

And lately?

So many things have been bouncing around my head.

I tried starting a journal.

...turns out I'm not good at that either.

I just need to write more often. Say outright what comes to mind, not mattering if it fits into someone else's idea of skill.

After all, I should be writing for me, not anyone else.
