"I WILL WRITE!"
by alecia15
Life gave me rotten lemons.
But somehow I’ll still make the lemonade.
This life is hard that I’ve been given but the despair is what made me
Who I am today.
I was born to write.
And write I will.
Why have I wasted so much of the time that
I was given to kill?
I remember in third grade winning an essay contest, with stars in my eyes.
Then in college a professor told me,(more like threatened me) to write a book, much to my surprise.
So what did I do with this talent of mine?
Well with every thing bad that happened to me,
I couldn’t except that, that was just life.
I wasn’t strong enough to push forward.
To pursue my dreams.
I let people push me around,
tell me it wasn’t okay to just be me.
But now, no more, “I’ll just start tomorrow.”
No more, “My life’s a mess, poor me can’t you see my sorrow?”
No more, “I guess since I spilled coffee on my laptop I should just give up.”
Psh what a coward I am giving up what I love!
After reading all of your stories, I started to realize,
We only have today, and even if I only have a pen and a napkin,
Dammit I was born to write!
