Writing is
dancing at a party like no one is watching.
Writing is
surrendering to the voices of past, present, and future–
allowing them to deliberate and negotiate through my pen.
Writing is
like my mother hugging me and whispering, “It will be okay.”
Writing is
a truth serum…
Writing is
my soul singing the blues, a love song, a ballad, a spiritual, a drinking song, a rap–
a plea to God.
