The Reason for Writing

Show a story, be a story.
Life is the plot,
The reason for writing.

Acceptance.
To mean everything.
The only pay for long work, life work.
Never there, and one day it comes.

And nothing has been better.
Stories of lost dreams and found joys,
Stop the breath and bring life.

It is, sometimes, still difficult.
All that energy, all that time, all that work to write.
It changes all the time as I learn and grow.
Look forward instead of backward,
And be a part of this dance of words.
