Wow. I really needed that poem. Right now I’m trying to write something due tomorrow morning, and tomorrow I have something else to edit and rewrite by evening, plus another piece to submit by midnight the same day. And I procrastinated like I never have before, and could’t understand why something that more often than not that comes easily (for the first draft, at least) wasn’t for these few items. I did pretty well this afternoon, which was good, because it I was beginning to get scared I wouldn’t meet deadline, but I got into a slump again. Hence the reason why I’m browsing 43 Things. Thanks a lot- time to get off the net and get back to writing!
(The only thing I don’t like are the pronouns used…)

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, a number of people didn’t like how I switched to first person for the last stanza. I respect everyone’s opinion, but I did it to highlight that this piece was for me. :-)
Oh, it’s nothing to do with changing to first person in the last stanza, that’s fine. I’m talking about the pronoun “he”- but now that you say that the piece was about/for you, I think it’s acceptable…

After I commented, I went back and read it and I kind of wondered if you weren’t talking about the masculine pronouns instead. Well, definitely change them for you because the important thing to remember is that if you have a writing dream, you can reach it, no matter what it is, but you have to do the legwork. And for writing, that’s writing.
