I am their only world

I am a writer... Yes, I read, but I always hear the voices in me... they cry to be set free... released from the prison of my mind so others can walk with them... see them among the living... So many worlds within... so many lands to explore... so many lives in longing... But one day I will open my soul and they'll come walking out... they'll finally be free... Sometimes I wonder if I'm mad... these voice grow so loud... they wake me... distract me... haunt me... but I know the answer... I am a writer... and for now, I am their only world... xo

Not bad! It's a way to see the world from the eyes of heart.

Thank you so much! Appreciate your words... :)

[Mercedes Rae Dúm..]

This is deeply raw, I feel a sense of your inner thoughts through your words, a tone of honesty. I like the vulnerability expressed with confidence.

Mercedes, thank you so much for your comments! There is a certain enchantment to writing... so many worlds within. But you knew that... :)

[Bowers]

This was so beautiful and I definitely relate, which makes it even better, at times my thoughts terrify me, but they're there for a reason, and eager to be laid out on a page, so I do appreciate this poem, and I believe you've done a wonderful job explaining your thoughts, nicely done!

[An owl on the moon]

I truly appreciate you stopping to read my words.. and grateful you feel this too... the pull of the words and the worlds within. Take care, dear poet! :)

Love this Craig..yes words plea to be set free..and so glad you share your beautiful words with us.

[An owl on the moon]

Oh, thank you, Sue! So glad to have you back here. Enjoy... again!

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Beautiful write! I could really relate to it. I have multiple ideas stuck inside my head that scream to be released, but always aren't since I need to work on how to express them. Such ideas even stay with me in my daydreams and whenever I try to sleep. Writing, therefore, is clearly a form of release for many of us.

[An owl on the moon]

So very thankful that you stopped by! Your words encourage my heart. Wishing you a most wondrous Wednesday, billed with endless dreams... :)

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)]

Thank you! I wish you the best too. I enjoy your eloquent writing style. xx

[Wuji]

As such, writers are perhaps the artists who are most free, free from the limitations of their material. Great idea for a piece Craig!

Thank you for stopping here to read! Much appreciated, Starchance... :)

Ah, the journey of being a writer.... I haven't written in a long time. Sometimes the words have to find me.

[An owl on the moon]

Hayley! It's time.. they want out.. the words.. the characters... give them the breath they need and they'll bring you along... :)

I wish that I was a writer. The way that your mind moves from worlds into a book is Amazing! I am so glad that I get to experience and learn how to format things here from great writers like you. It just wouldn't be the same around here if we weren't blessed with your sharing:) Your the bomb! ( yeah I know, I kinda get stuck in the 80s/90s sometimes. Its old school but everything revolves!LOL)

[An owl on the moon]

Smiling and laughing! And the 80s rock, so you keep it coming! Thanks so much for stopping here.. and for sharing you here too.. not just on my page, but at the Cafe.. you breathe poetry... :)

Loved, loved, loved the concept of this piece. A writer does give birth to those who would not exist any other way.

[An owl on the moon]

I know there are so many worlds alive within you, Pryde... may you be able to give them endless, sweet release. :)
