[a #writco.in poem]

I strive to do my best, even when the start is tough
I'll always try, always be ready, and stand steady enough
It's a challenging journey, requiring dedication and time
But I won't be driven by greed, instead, I'll focus on my prime

No one pushes me, they may not even care
But my passion and love drive me to share
Only I can add more effort, more love, and more might
To chase my dreams and make my writing shine so bright

My mind explores new worlds, my pen crafts words with grace
Drafting dreams, hope, and beauty in every place
It's hard, and sometimes sad, when I'm alone
Trying to write it down, with a heart that's turned to stone

But I must be proud, for it's not a sin
To chase my dreams and let my spirit grin
Waiting for the sun to shine, to light the way
I'll write with passion, every single day

I strive to free myself from doubts and fears
And find solace in my tears
Sometimes, I gaze out at the sea
Searching for answers, destiny, and a voice that's free
Trying to figure out what's wrong and right
And finding my voice in the dark of night
