So you want to write?
Write always, about your life,
Sadness, joy, heartaches;
Keep on through dark days,
Loves found and lost, writer’s blocks,
Rejection letters;
The gift of writing
May expose your woundedness
But will let you heal —
Do you get published?
Maybe yes, maybe no, but
Your words still live on
Memoir or novel,
Short stories or articles,
Your voice, your style — WRITE
