To write through 
Every Single Thing 
That life has ever taught
Let the words flow from 
My mind to the heart 
Struggle with the pain 
Wrangle the tears 
That swell up 
From the depths
Of my center
Dangle my thoughts
Upon the edge 
Of a line 
Drape my mixology 
Of print and cursives 
Longing to land 
On a printed page 
Of my published work 
How beautiful it is 
But what is such a thing
A published work 
If you have many
A published pieces 
To be read
Read and loved 
That is
The real deal.
