i certainly don't read what i consider to be alot.
but if i had not read what have i read lol, ...
i wouldn't be where i am as a poet.
but i do think we need to leave a bit of room for our own expression.
we don't need to take on too much of anyone elses style.
unique is wonderful.
and listening to someone read poetry, ...
can be amazingly moving.
for someone to say they don't read another persons poems, is sad.

i know when i first started writing, ...
the writing was pretty close to 100% self expression.
i started with wanting someone to share my feelings, ...
i grew from there.
at times, i didn't care if anyone else understood.
in fact, i purposely wrote that way.

i'm dark. that's where i thrive. i rarely write happy.
