self portrait tuesday

Here's my second entry for Exploration of Identity, this month's theme for SPT.

I Am a Writer

This is harder to say aloud than the goddess thing.
See how I smirk? It's to hide how serious I take it, how much I think about it.
All encompassing feels like a weakness, sometimes.
When I write, I feel like

I'm running naked in an empty parking lot carpeted with bubble wrap.

The running can be frustrating. The popping is always joy-filled.
When I write, even when I write fiction,

is when I feel the most honest.
