I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.
When I write, I can shake off all my cares.
I almost never write because I want something from my audience. Almost everything I've ever written, I've written because I feel like I have to write this or I'll die. Like, this has to come out of me.
I write for myself. I don't write because I have a record coming out. I write because I want to. I need to.
But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
I chose poetry. Actually, poetry chose me.
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
I feel a burden if I don't write.
There's a happiness that comes from writing that I won't live without.
