Some people have fruitful careers
And toil with sweat and blood.
Mine ended quick, I had no choice
For my body is a dud.

I sit in bed for days on end
Sleeping only an hour or two,
Then wake up rhyming words nonstop
It's all I’m able to do.

Each minute I suffer racked with pain
Just brings a minute more.
And so I keep on writing
Instead of crying inside these doors.

But then I send these writes along
To my family and my friends.
I wish the rhymes were once a week
But the words don't want to end.

So please forgive my frequent mail
If you'd rather I would stop.
Just send a note voicing this to me
For it sure would help a lot.

No hard feelings are left in me
If I bother you with this prose.
Rather than keep harassing you
I would really much rather know.

I will send this out to everyone,
And I hope to hear back soon.
Then I can take you off the list
But I'll still be friends with you.

Once you're president, you'll also be able to incorporate your poems into your state of the union addresses.

Keep writing. I'm sure they look forward to them.

Not sure if you realize it, but writing poems is not such an easy task. It is sort of a gift to put words together and make something sound so Beautiful to all. If this is a stage in your life, then let it flow! Don't try to change your path as it is a direction your walking for one reason or another. Don't stop writing just yet, maybe it is a way for you to cleans your mind so you can move on to bigger and better things. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and if you have a gift with words, then just imagine what else you can or possibly will do. I find writing poetry as a healing process as it allows us to clear our mind so we can focus on other things. Keep up the good work. Check out some of my poems and see if they influence you in any way.
