BLOOD on my PAPER

“Bad things happen whether you're scared or not, so you might as well not bother being scared. It's a waste of time.” 
― Louise Rozett, Confessions of an Angry Girl

Should i despair? Should i be vexed? Should i stop because life never smiles at me

because i feel unlucky.

Danger lurking around at every corner waiting like a ghost

wanting to scare,

should i then fear, run and hide at some safe abode ,

abdicate myself and abandon my pen?

My only true love.

NO! how long? how far can i run anyways? 

So like a dagger, my pen on me i will battle, facing my greatest odds.

I was born a writer, should i then masquerade the truth, 

silently fain to support the opposite of my beliefs

just for some meal ticket -  I wouldn't.

I am maverick answering only to higher powers.

I know there will be bloodshed, i can see it dripping slowly down.

Bloodshed on my paper, i can't stop.
