If I am going to be a writer I have to be able to fail

If I am going to be a writer I have to start putting myself out there
Without fear, but also without pretension
My creation is for me alone primarily
And if I should share it
If it should fall on someone’s ear and have a certain ring
Get caught up in their tongue and have them repeating a turn of phrase for days,
Turning it over in their mouth in circles,
Digesting it,
That is but an added bonus.
