Notes About The Poem

- It Is To Be -

  I burned for my book
  Sentence formation is complete
  From idea to finished script,
  first sprout came several years ago
  Editing and rewriting
  changes over and over again
  My goal is to stand tall

  To develop a strong plot
  the structure is essential
  Must grab the reader, reason to read on
  Is my work satisfactory?
  Emotions commit abuse
  motivation and self-confidence needs a boost
  The path to self renewal to conquer
