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.

Kethry love, this is utterly exceptional, it truly truly is. And everyone knows you are an exceptionally loving beautiful spirit, wrapped within a truly wonderfully passionate heart.
Take care as always, live well sing strong and write to fill my heart with joy.
