Eager To Write

Now before we get started let me tell you this. Twenty five years I've been out of school. Not one single day of it do I miss. My writing is mine & there are no rules. My words are delivered with a lot of passion. Every verse is straight from the heart. I put it all together in my own fashion. I've never considered myself to be very smart. To get it out of my head and onto the paper, brings me relief to say the least. To keep it all in would be much safer, but I'm searching hard for that inner peace. Some of these poems may give you tears, but some of them will make you smile. Some are based on my biggest fears. Some from when I was just a child. I tend to get down to the nitty gritty. Not really worried about what others say. Don't want anything in return, especially pity. Maybe someday I will actually get paid. I'm not getting any younger, that's for sure. One neck surgery, that's enough. For getting older, there is no cure. I'm finally admitting that I'm not so tough. So a writing career is my dream. Boy I should have paid attention in school. I've always been a late bloomer it seems. I have no clue about grammar rules. In school literature was a breeze. The semester of grammar was another story. I read and wrote with joy and ease. but my punctuation was downright gory. Editors should all be millionaires. They are special, there is no doubt. They take your work and magically repair, the mess you make of what you write about. So here I go on my writing spree. Something that i've always loved to do. It has pretty much replaced TV, listening to music and sleeping too. I hope you enjoy all that I have to say. Even though some seems a little bit dark. Maybe I can get published someday. Hopefully I have that special spark.
