Watch Me
You don't think I can come back?
You think writer's block will win?
Lemme put it this simple,
I'm not gonna stop doing this.
This art that allowed me to
emit the horrors from within.
This story I've invested two
years into and until the end.
I'm gonna keep writing for the kids,
The kids with scars on their wrists.
The kids struggling to down the bottle,
The kids getting beat by their father's fist.
For every other poet who felt unsatisfied
With every last line of poetry they wrote.
For my little brother to find one day
and realize that he is on the right boat.
For the dark and depressed and suicidal,
To the abusers and the rich and the law.
I'm gonna write for this world as a whole,
I'm gonna leave every last doubter in awe.
I've got new words to spread,
These kids need a better way to see.
If you think I'm not gonna help the world,
Wait till I'm done writing this and watch me.

Excellent. This is a peaceful manifesto, initially a brief mention of the defeat of writer's block. Then it becomes a declaration of your intent to help kids. I know how hard it is to overcome writer's block and I congratulate you. And I admire your efforts to help children. I can't think of a more noble motivation. Well done!
