Credo
If a phrase turns up and it coils round your heart,
it matters, write it down
If there’s a character shouting in your head,
it matters, write it down
If your story is stretching the seams of your mind,
it matters, write it down
If you see things other people miss,
it matters, write it down
If the glitter in a rain drop makes you cry,
it matters, write it down
If no one else has ever hurt like this,
it matters, write it down
If there’s nothing but fog and you’re scared you’ll trip
it matters, write it down
