The Way You Read It
When I write I read the line in my head to hear how it sounds.
It sounds right.
I read it over when I’m done.
It flows.
But when others read my work.
It sounds off.
Saying that it doesn’t flow.
Well listen.
Listen to the pauses I take after ever period,
After every new line I make.
When there’s a small dot.
Wait.
Then move on.
When I press enter.
Wait.
Then move on.
I bet you’re reading this thinking.
What is she talking about?
That might be what I intended for.
Because my work isn’t just for those to read,
But to listen.
Because in the end.
My writing sounds and flows altogether.
From the way I read it.

Before I wrote this piece, I really realized who different everyone read their work. So I wanted to write something that a writer would say when they hear others read their work and explain the way their wok should be read.
