Any expert or master has to sacrifice to rise. How seriously do you take your poetry? Is there something else you sacrifice for more consistently?
Personally I go through phases with poetry between writing consistently, writing when inspiration comes, and not writing poetry at all but rather writing my other projects and introspection. The one thing I do sacrifice a lot of time and attention for is my spirituality. That's my main identity and priority.
