Myself on poetry.

I will never be famous but I hope to be known,
by the words that I write that are truly my own.

 So many things in so many ways,
Can be written so differently day after day.

 The meanings of things in my mind become clear;
Like love, happiness, sadness and fear.

 But what is meant of these things to me,
may not be exactly what others might see.

So I leave my words open so that many may dwell,
on their own ideas of what these words spell.
