I am a would be writer, an exceptional fighter I wonder about most everything, like all the things that make bells ring I hear the voice of poetry, rumbling deep inside of me I see the world gone mad with greed, and wonder if want beats need I want to live in harmony, with the childlike inner me I am a would be writer, an exceptional fighter I pretend I'm strong and free, living with natural harmony I feel strongly about unfairness, it raises my awareness I touch myself, there's no one else I worry that my grandchild dear, will not live to see all his years I cry at almost everything, even when I hear birds sing I am a would be writer, an exceptional fighter I understand that life's not fair, it the thing that helps me care, I say, write on or be well, it lets me stay the gates of hell I dream of being made quite whole, united in my heart and soul I try to live most everyday and make the demons go away I hope the future will look bright, and look toward the guiding light I am a would be writer, an exceptional fighter.
