PROSE POEM: "DEAR WRITER" BY MAURICE N CHIADZWA

When you grasp something that inspires you, it leaves an impression.

When you are struck by something that overwhelms you, it becomes a depression.

Being a writer comes with a unique ability to release any idea, feeling, or thought in an artistic way.

That is expression.

The world offers you all kinds of things. As Pablo Picasso once said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

The world will give you both good and bad, that is life.

But whether it impresses you or depresses you, it is still a beautiful experience to create from.

So keep writing.

Good morning.
