If you are a writer
Abandon the concept of a brand
You are a person
Who picked up a pen
When something inside you
Begged to be released
You do not have followers
You have people
Staring at a screen
Searching for words
For a feeling they cannot name
Write for them
Write what you are afraid to say
Because it’s a little too raw
A little too much of a rough draft
There is no such thing
Let go of your fear
Set your words free
A fragile soul out there needs you
Don’t hesitate
Just write and share
Words change lives
Poems of Pandemic Days by Alice Curley
