Until a couple of months ago, I had never considered publishing my songs and poetry, although I have been writing them for two decades. I have been asking myself why this is, as I am rather proud of them.
I have concluded that the reasoning is simple; my poetry is a window into my most personal thoughts and feelings. To me, it is like publishing my diaries. I have had to question whether I am truly ready to do so, as much of the inspiration for the work comes from depression, anxiety, death, and personal troubles which I would ordinarily keep inside.
Regardless of my concerns, I feel I owe it to myself to publish what I created, as I feel that this would be a form of therapy.
I have compiled a series of some of what I consider my best poetry and am currently at the proof-reading and formatting stage of the publication process.
I look forward to presenting my works to the world, and hearing from you all once you read it.
