Comfort

To be a writer isn’t to
Achieve short term admiration.
For that you need to go to a
Guitar or tell some good jokes.

No one will flock around
The grouchy person alone
In a darkened corner.
Sadly.

What they will miss however
Is the comfort to be realized
From complete self honesty.
Is there such a thing?

In short, yes.
It comes from writing for only
Yourself, with no intention
Of anyone else seeing.

Where all great love poetry is born.
