Writing To Me Poem by Chantal Lammerts

Writing started long ago,
As a manner to express,
To tell someone: “I love you so”,
And “I’ll never love you less”.

Writing started as very rare,
In our impressive history,
And every time you’d stop and stare,
As if a holy mystery.

Writing developed over time,
The way it’s done and the reason why,
The different words and how to rhyme,
With time, it became less and less shy.

Writing has completely changed,
It’s no longer a way to escape,
No longer there to where it has always ranged,
It has got a brand new shape.

Nowadays writing is for the food on your table,
For the clothes you wear,
And it is no longer stable,
Oh, if people would just care.

We write only for the audience,
Only for the fame,
And always that obedience,
To advice that is so lame!

Writing to me is more than that,
It’s a way to let go everything I’ve got,
To express my feelings, happy or sad,
To find out my very own plot.

So write for yourself,
Not for anyone else,
Write every book on your life’s shelf,
And you’ve got the true writer’s cells.


hahaha, an old poem I wrote (found on my pc) I was angry because my teachers kept telling us that we should think about what the audience wants to read, etc... but now I know that if you can combine both, your own passion and the reader's interest, and put that in a poem, story, etc. than you have the perfect work, at least to me!
hope you enjoyed, comments are more than welcome and wanted
