You Only Write Once. Or Do You?


You get one chance. Show them what you can do.                                                                              Prove that you can do it, they'll stop questioning you.                                                                        Your writing has power, it always will.                                                                                                    But does it have enough power to fit the bill?                                                                                      You want to go to college, I get that, it's fine.                                                                                       But your writing can't help you come tuition time.                                                                                   Or can it?                                                                                                                                             That's what you must ask yourself.                                                                                                      You only get one chance for your share of the wealth.                                                                        The money, it draws you, it feeds desire.                                                                                              Fills your soul with an unquenchable fire.                                                                                                   If you fail, at your chance to bat;                                                                                                            the only question you ask is. "Do you want fries with that?"
