You never know Cathy. You need to let others hear or read your lyrics. When Johnny Cash first heard his song "I Walk The Line" on the radio for the first time, he called his manager and told him to please tell the radio stations to stop playing it because he thought it sounded so bad. His manager told him that would be impossible because radio stations all over the US were playing it and it went straight to number one. You never know how what you write will affect others.
