Unrevised Thoughts Of A Composer

To achieve greatness and live in luxury, I must struggle and strive first.
I must find my place in this unforgiving world.
Or I must create my own.
No. I need to stop living in my head.
Intelligence and independence; key components to success.
Loneliness injects its poison in me sometimes, but that doesn’t mean than I’m lonely when you see me alone.
I’m usually lonely in crowds, but that doesn’t mean I feel lonely around everyone.
I’m a writer, a composer. These are my feelings.
I am not good at speaking with people, but when I find the right person to talk to, we shall delve in each other’s company all night.
As ironic as it seems, it was a TV show that got me back into writing.
I’m a writer, a composer.
And I accept that I must struggle before I reach a state of complete peace.
These
Are
My
Feelings.
