Getting No Where Fast

I try so hard to publish a book
 and no one wants to even take a look
I started writing when I was eight 
 sometimes I wonder if it was a mistake
I love to write and I can not stop now
 I just wish someone would come help me out
As I start to up the stairs
 I think wow I am finally getting there 
Then the cost of how much it is 
 hits me like a ton of bricks
I can not afford to pay a lot
 because my family is all I got
I wish I had the money to publish my book
 but without money no one cares to take a look
