Writing – Mary McSpadden

I want to write,

I need to write.

Writing is in my brain.

People like reading and

People read the written.

Reading is fun and

Reading teaches us.

I love people who read and

I love people who tell stories and simply,

I just love people.

I want people to be well.

And happy.

And have amazing lives.

And I want people to learn from others and

To appreciate each other.

I want people to know

There are all kinds of people

in the world and

I want people to know

They can be just who they are.

They don’t need to listen to the voice in their head

Which makes them be like everyone else or

Makes them be a person they’ve been instructed to be.

Life can be shit.

Life can be hard,

Life sucks (too many times)

And writing helps me to see

Through the storm

The rainy, hazy sheet.
