that a poem or a song or a story is necessarilly autobiographical!
this is just NOT necessarily so! For example, the song or poem may be
written from the POV of a writer's persona, or one of their many
personas, or they may be written from the POV of invented
characters... the members of Steely Dan, for example, have discussed
how people would believe that they were writing about themeselves,
when they have said they were primarily writing *fiction*, they were
bascially writing satiricle sings told from the point of view of
invented characters... now, this doesn't mean that their may not be
autobiographical elements incliuded in the song or poem, their may
indeed be thoughts and feeling or events included that are at least
similiar to the ones experianced by the character(s) in the song or
poem, but this does not necessarily mean that the poem is by any means
strictly autobiographical...

Definitely, lest we forget.

The words fly away, the writings remain.
