Author's Quick Poetic Thoughts About Star Studded Adversity

I used to think about  

My competitive recreational athletic entertaining bout  

And then appeared the invisible hint to get out  

It was all in my glamorous haunting past  

Ferocious winds terrified my life’s sailing mast 

Filled with reality water’s challenging chop 

Thrashing my egotistical maturing mind screaming ‘please stop’  

But here I take my pen in hand  

Not trying to be anything only to survive taking a stand  

 I used to think about a mistake 

 I did not make  

Everyone scorned me calling me a fake  

But through putting blood on paper,  

During slow time as a high-class waiter  

I get things off my chest  

Showing my reader, I did my best  

Confronting a conflict that tried to make my life a mess  

Guilt will make my antagonist confess  

I will be the heroic protagonist getting celebrity headline press  

Would this be the solution?  

Proper resolution  

In a certain arc  

That shows the light in the dark  

Story telling is my way  

To put information on the communication tray  

Writing books  

Fictional plots and scenes I do cook  

This is what it is like to be an author  

Always going out pitching for a publisher’s offer  

This what I used to think about  

No longer wasting time engaging in any addicted pout
