Inspiration to page,
Thought after rage.
Emotion before reason,
Objectivity treason.
Three words can make me cry,
Express darkest fears.
Verbose explosions can make me sigh,
Bore me to tears.
The reverse can be true,
So what do we do?
Read everything with open mind,
Take heart in the good that we find.
Subject matter differs from narrative voice,
Both come down to author choice.
What is said is more important than how,
Disagreeing doesn't equal 'holier than thou'.
Pick up a pen, or highlight a quote,
Find yourself in others, or in what you wrote.
There's someone for everyone,
The same rings true for words.
Voice opinion but be willing to change,
Stay true to yourself and don't follow herds.
Feel free to disagree,
That's why you are you,
And I am me.
