A letter to you

Sometimes I criticize myself harshly
and as I degrade myself, the same prospective
I have on me, it's the one I receive from others.
That is why Poetry is such a powerful tool
for me because through it, I can say what my heart
has never yelled before without judgment. But today
I don't wanna direct this note to me, this time
I am writing for someone else.

I think there is a time for sorrow,
and there is a time for happiness,
there is a time for receiving and accepting.
but there is also a time to be grateful.

I am grateful today and that is why,
I am writing a letter to you. To those who take
the time to read my poems and experiment with me,
the characters in my head.

Every poem written represents an essence of me,
a character, an emotion, a feeling, all developed by my
soul -and now and then by my mind- and
when you read it you take with you, a memory
of me. Thank You for that. Whether you enjoy them
or whether you believe there is work to be done in these poems.
-trust me I know there is-
Just the fact that you're reading this note,
inspires me to keep writing.

And yes I do write to free my soul. I write because I love it,
I write because is the only thing, place, action
that has no limits. I write because I can. But,
I also write because I want you to find yourself in my poems,
if that's possible. I want these poems to take you to another place,
to a sort of adventure, moment, a memory in where you find different
feelings you never had before or maybe feelings that you
had, that never thought someone else could have,
and through that action obtain a smile or 
tear if so your heart wishes.

I don't know you yet you already own a part of me
and see, poetry is not about what you see 
but what you feel. So, I hope that as you read my older posts
and my upcoming ones, these will be able to transport you
to a different world, that would bring you -as they bring me-:
Peace and of course, Joy.

With love,

The Author
