The Joy of Writing

Writing for myself
is enjoyable
there are no deadlines
to be met
there are no pages
that need to be edited
before I can make it
to publication
no publishing houses
to please
with indiscriminate
parts of me
crossed out in red pen.
there are
no constraints
on creativity
no guidelines
for how it should
be done
just thoughts
i release
because they need
some place
to escape to.
