inspiration Friday

only inspiration today...but oh this is so inspiring....I have.. for years... always wanted to write a book, but scared of showing my "cracks" and "flaws"...you know what I mean...so..

Don’t write,
It’s too powerful,
It might tell someone how
you feel. How you hurt.
What you don’t understand.

Don’t write.
It’s too powerful.
It will show who you are
on the inside to the outside.
It’ll blow your cover,
your nice reputation.

Don’t write.
It’s too powerful.
You might hurt someone’s
feelings. People may not like your
words. They may attack you, or
abandon you.

Don’t write,
It’s too powerful.
It might give others hope.
Let them know
They’re not alone.
It might change minds.
Change directions.
Change the world.

So, whatever you do.

don’t
write

I am thinking you are half way there by writing in your blog! I too have always dreamed of being a writer. I am very seriously thinking of turning my blog into a book on my 1 year blogiversary (coming soon). It looks kind of cool. I will let you know how I make out. In the mean time - keep writing in your blog and perhaps a full book will come of it! No? Yes!
