I think it’s truly interesting how you’re inspired by writing songs. I feel like this is underrated sometimes because the need for every word to earn its place sets a completely different tone. Being able to sit comfortably with fewer words can feel at odds with what we’re taught as children and I feel like it takes a special skill to sit with that. I loved how physical the poem felt. It does a lot with so little.

Thank you so much for your appreciation of my writing, and thank you for understanding it.

Exactly, what matters most to me is the emotion behind it, not how many fancy words I can use.

I honestly don’t know how it feels for other people, but writing with this style is both beautiful and challenging for me.

Sometimes it flows so effortlessly, as if the words already know where they need to go. And other times it feels heavy, like holding something deep inside your chest and trying to shape it into a single word or a quiet sentence that can carry it all without falling apart.

But I think that’s what makes it meaningful.
