What is the aim or goal of your writing: "To me poetry must be musical and express strong emotion, so I write lyrics. I want to communicate what I feel to other people-so I strive for clarity. I am happy when people respond to what I write-but I must admit I would write, anyway-I need the release! I started as a child."
