Any writers out there who find their interests affect them?

I write about things that are happening to me or that have happened to me, but my interests are often incorporated into the writings. As an example...

Barren Landscape


Locked in
Blinded by light
Twirling around
And around
Searching for the door
But all I find
Are walls
Closing in fast

I hear a voice
Calling me over
With my bare hands
I begin to scratch
Pound
Beat down the walls

A sliver of freedom
A glimpse
Of the outside world
Appears at eye level

I peek through
Hope swelling
Heavy in my chest
But all I see
Is a single sword
Standing tall
In a barren landscape

I stop
Cradle my bleeding hands
Sit
And wait
Hope shattered but not dead

The single sword is a tarot reference to the Ace of Swords. The title Barren Landscape is the landscape in which the sword stands on the card itself.
