Bleed
Authors live to enchant others to read
But readers are hard to entice, I know
They don't realize that, to write, authors bleed
For all you readers there's still time to grow
All readers should walk in an authors shoes
Go home and type some words on a blank screen
Write for yourself or you'll always lose
Write where you cant be seen
Make time to write, you've only just begun
I never once said writing was fun
Once your book is done, you need send it
You wait for weeks and receive your first <em>no
</em>You forgot to bleed
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” ― Ray Bradbury
When I write
My words feel stone cold
And lack true emotion.
How do the words spill so easily?
Of situations, I had never so much as brushed
Yet I cannot bring myself to write
Of anything but the things I write.
Please forgive me for my insolence
And brash actions
For continuing to write
About things
That I know I should not
But the words just won't stop
Flowing from my head to my fingertips.
But if I don’t stop
I fear
That the things I write would
Come true in my life
And rule all I have known.
