Useless

Is it really?

Is writing just a waste of my time, 

and a waste of time for others to read?

Is writing this here now, 

is it really useless?

According to some people it is.

But how can they say that?

How on Earth can people say that

when writing is its very foundation?

Honestly,

I feel bad for them,

not knowing the joys

of writing a masterpiece.

And not knowing the joys

of winning a contest.

Or maybe

just the feeling of letting go 

and thinking

of nothing but your writing.

Maybe that's just me though,

and it is  really useless.

Maybe it is useless,

and it's just me

who pours their heart out 

to strangers online, 

because I know that they'll respond

kindly, and they'll be supportive.

Maybe it is useless.

And I'm just not seeing it's uselessness.

But even if it is,

I'm still going to spend all of my time

doing something useless,

because it's my favorite thing.

And I don't think that'll ever change.

Even if it is useless.

  • My mirror

    You,

    my mirror,

    my other half,

    my dark side.

    We look the same.

    But in no way are we alike.

    We're like two halves, 

    of the same coin.

    But you-

    are my worst regret.

  • Three Knocks

    Touched by your kindness,

    I felt a sudden warmth in my chest.

    If you can really say, "I love you"-

    will my mind feel lighter?

    Past closed doors,

    I can hear a faint voice.

    I can't make it go away,
