I don't understand
Why people say
My writing is powerful
To them.
When
All I see
Is a bunch of characters
Written in my writing.
Or typed
On a computer screen.
What is wrong with me
That I am blind
To this power
Of my written verse.
Or is it
Just another example
Of the damage done
From my childhood?
Just once
I would love
To see.
What others witness
In my own writing.
