Loss of Self & Identity

Sometimes I'm afraid
that having found myself
my voice and my self expression
that the ideas will stop coming
that I'll stop writing...
maybe losing some sense of myself.
My writing -
being a poet -
it's who I am.
And every poet,
every writer
faces the fear
that the ideas will one day run out
and all that will remain
are old poems,
old ideas,
like memories of what once was...
like someone you loved
and lost...
but it's not exactly like htat.
These poems,
the ideas I've shared
will always be there
like children,
like anything else that is a part of ourselves
- a creation...
and my words are still alive
and hopefully always will be.
