Confessions of an Insecure Writer

I might lie

To write is to educate. This means, it indeed is a noble work.

For this reason, as a writer, I am very insecure about my readers.

I Secretly Wish I Am Wrong

I don’t want to guide people. I want to guard them.

I don’t want to train people. I want them to be the master.

I don’t want them to follow me. I want them to lead me.

I don’t want them to read my work. I want to read their success stories.

I don’t want to leave a legacy. I just want to touch their heart.

I don’t want to be the healer. I want them to be the strongest.

I don’t want to educate. I just want to inspire.

I don’t want to light the fire. I want them to be the fire.

I don’t want to give them water. I want them to be the sea.

I don’t want to give them hope. I want them to be the hope.

I don’t want to give them the lights. I want them to be the sun.

I don’t want to attract them. I want them to be attractive.

I don’t want to push them. I want them to be moved.
