Do I gain clarity by writing?

I have been writing for a while with the expectation

That writing daily would lead to revelation

Of my innermost thoughts, give me clarity

But that has not yet happened despite the regularity

With which I have been trying to write

I have not gained meaningful insight

Into my thoughts and actions, nor healing found

There have been no realizations profound..

*

Writing with the expectation of finding clarity

Has placed unreasonable pressure on me

I begin and end my writing exercise

Nothing changes between the two, I’ve realized

Solutions to my problems I do not find

Pearls of wisdom do not come to my mind

All that writing does is allow me to express

A tiny fraction of my thoughts, no more, no less
