Recently, someone really close to me told me that I should write about life.
Ofcourse if I start writing about happiness and beauty and blessings, rather than darkness, disparity and heartache, it would probably inspire my readers.
But here's the thing... I don't write when I am happy. I write when I am down, when I feel heavy or when there is too much going inside my head that I need to pour it down.
Especially poems. I don't write poems for others, I write them for myself.
They sole purpose of me posting my poems here is that I know I am not alone in this world who feels down.
So if I can't inspire people from my writings, I can atleast make them feel understood. That they aren't going through things alone. That someone in some corner of the world is struggling too.
The latest poem I posted took me days to write. It's because while writing it, I didn't feel my usual self. It was tough because I wasn't able to justify the emotions. But I wrote it because I wanted to show that writing about "life" isn't tough. But there is no point in writing if I can't express myself.
So it's my request and advice to the fellow authors and poets too... Write what you want to write, write for yourself, pour your emotions to words.
Because somewhere someone is sitting alone and feeling your emotions through those words.
