I only really write poems when I have to get something out of my system. Like when I was with my YF I literally filled hundreds of pages (which I've since discarded overtime. Too painful to re-read). I also write music (that's my main creative outlet), photograph, and paint ocassionally. I was writing a novel at one point, and my memoirs (that was scrubbed cause I realized I'm too young, maybe in 20 yrs.). But none of these activities are done 'professionally'. I didn't have a chance to go to college (looong story) but I still hope to be a composer when the situation becomes more favorable.

What do you mean "the clash with liturgy" about music and poetry?
