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
