Above All, Just Write
Be fearless, it does not matter.
Rise above all your mind clatter!
I hear you, thinking, but they are better than me.
Hogwash, I tell you, most happily!
I realize, fully, the groupies here.
Love them and give them three cheers!
The writing is the thing you see?
Stop drooling for pages of commentary!
Oh, yes, I understand you greatly and your sensitivity.
That will make your pen move most with soul, more readily.
You need not be at the top of the heap.
Stop sitting there, with a big weep.
Just write simply, be free as a bird.
Your mood counts not, just your word!
You need not do poetry acrobatics to prove yourself.
Nor write only to win trophies for your shelf.
God gave you a gift, and though others pass you by.
It's perfectly alright! He sees you from His throne in the sky!
Go pen now, happiness or sadness.
Avoid all news, the world overcome with madness!
Put lights on your house, brighten souls.
You are humanity's gift, remember that shining goal!
