Hopes and Dreams


I want to be a good writer

But sometimes I'm not a fighter

If I want to be a writer 

should I just become lighter

I know this is just words

But many words can give a message

Some say work hard

Others say Just do it

If I wanted to be great

I'd have to have a high rate

No I am not going to be famous

Or even known

I am an average person in a small town

I don't frown and cry

I stand up tall and try

This isn't to say what I want

This is to say what I am doing

So if I keep going

I'll have no problem knowing

That one day I'll be a good writer
