The words the whole time (writers personal view)
The way the words land so seamlessly on a page. The way they blend together-welcoming and questioning. I love the way I write and for so long I thought it was about the writer. However, the more I write the more I see its not about me. It's not about a single aspect of me. These words are powerful and bold. Independent and courageous. Loved and loving. More than often I find myself as the alien. A complete stranger to the words that fill these pages. If I were to picture the author behind the stories, songs, poems, I would see someone with a laughter that could fill the room- someone who could make people smile on the rainiest of day and loneliest of nights. Most profound is what I don't see. I don't see me. Realistically I know beyond these words I am invisible. To the strangers who see these you can take these words and carry them with you-which is most rewarding. I write in this anonymity because I never want to interrupt the nature of the things I love. The thing I love the most is seeing the faces of the ones I love happy and loving and for the first time in a long time everyone of them has that-completely. So when I write these words inspired by the people places, and things I encounter, I leave it in anonymity because I owe that to you. Lately I've been alone writing those lines and stanzas and it feels like it wouldn't be so bad to just disappear. It was never about the writer,it was never about me, it was the words the whole time.
