Writing

Writing is bleeding thought
and freeing the energy of a soul.
Writing often exposes one's
        own secrets
and...perhaps a key for others
      to realize - theirs?

Yet, that is not why I write,
  (to enlighten others),
because that would be...
self-serving and pretentious.

Transforming myself is already
a daunting enough task!
