The Courage To Write

A poem to fill the book’s blank page,
A poem to make friends
A poem to soothe my fuming rage
A poem to make amends
It takes courage to write authentically
because no sane person chooses to bleed his thoughts on papers.

I agree, it takes courage to write authentically, for it exposes the soul and you never know who will read it. But there is honor and integrity in an honest write. To speak of inner convictions and humanity for others to hear is what makes us human. It pleases me to see you embracing that courage! Well done. ~ John
