 Write to Write

Do I write to be right?

So, when the words are black-and-white on the page, they are automatically right?

Do I write to be in the light?

For acclaim, for fame, or just to drain the pain of being alone?

Must I never be wrong, a perfect bore, or always be in company for them to adore?

I think not.

Though it’s nice to be recognized, I’ll never be canonized for putting words on paper.

Why then do I write, if not to be right, or to bask in the light?

Keep asking these questions, Dear Poet Me, for maybe you’ll see that it’s simply to be 

in the moment.

Empty the cup, and see what comes up.

Write to write in the moment.
