Philosophy of Writing Inspired By Bukowski
Words should come from the soul
Not just from a pen
That is what should be your goal
So says wise men
Many times there is too much effort put into writing
It should come naturally enough
There shouldn't be too much fighting
Just let the words flow through you
Like the greatest of rushing rivers
The end result I promise you will deliver shivers
Down the spine of the reader
And that is what you want
For your words to be remembered
For yours to be the words that haunt
Writing should be for writing's sake
Not for the sake of any others
Although it is nice to hear the opinion of your brothers
But just remember that writing should come from deep inside
And if it does then pride in yourself will never be denied
