Maybe it should be scandalous

Hurt

For a long time
I lost the joy
In writing
Trying not to
But still dying
Every moment fighting
For that next breath
Trying nothing but to live
Leaves a poet
Nothing left to give
Life is a four letter word
Like love
While dying one can
Never get enough
But when things
Go from bad to worse
Like love
Life can become a curse
For long and long
The dying went on
And writing
For the joy of it
Hurt

I was reminded yesterday that writing can be, should be, must be one of the joys of my life! Maybe it should be scandalous, me a forty two year old,m to be reading Percy Jackson books, but damned if they are not an expression of the joy an author can have when writing!
