NO AWARDS SOUGHT

The days of writing go on
Sometime there is self-doubt
This is not bad
You dig a little deeper
Looking for a shining stone
Which will give you inspiration
And help carry you forward
No awards are sought
This avoids all pressure
Just keep writing 
From the soul
People who get it 
Will find what they need
A lift on a dismal day
This is good elixir
I know my stuff is first rate
But it makes no difference to me
There are some who
Think they are first rate
They self-publish at
Various intervals
Act humble
Which is good
Because the writing
Is usually second rate
But they are happy
Their family and friends are also
I am happy for them
But bumper to bumper
What do you want?
Gloss or truth
