Writing to me, is likened to breathing. I <br />need to do it in order to live. <br /> <br />While I would hope others would find my <br /> <br />words the kind that struck <br />a responsive cord-the final decision <br />if it be good or bad...is mine. <br /> <br />While I welcome accolades from those <br />who read my work it is not for them I <br />write. I write for me. I write because <br />I am compelled to. I write because <br />writing is my lady and she makes <br />me feel complete. <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breathing-writing-one-and-the-same/
