I only want to write
And get paid for my words
My words all strung together
In unique, inimitable style
With their own quirky bent
And their peculiar rush to mind
Of memories old
Possibilities new
And another distinct life
Apart from what you know
Separate from your beliefs
Foreign to your system
Alien to your code
Yet resonant
Charming
Intriguing
Entrancing
Enthralling
Engaging
Piercing
Provocative
Profound
And just
Downright
Well-written
Yass, I want to get paid
For this life inside of me
For this life that is what I have to give
For what I do best
For what I know
For what I understand
For the chance to make you
Smile
Cringe
Cry
Laugh
Scream
Plead
Celebrate
Grieve
Then when all is said and done
Pass it on
