DEEP INSIDE ME

DEEP INSIDE ME


Deep inside of me I feel
A constant urge to write
Concerning my heart-felt thoughts,
Be they gloomy or bright.

I write simply for the thrill
That I get out of words.
Though having written them down
I forget afterwards.

The process of writing is
Aimed at near perfection.
It’s a reward in itself
And gives satisfaction.

It is true that I like if
I’m appreciated
Though I am, by criticism,
Not intimidated.

To comment on my poems,
My readers I invite.
That helps me replace what is
Hazy by what is bright.
