Believe

Obsessive, compulsive, the need to be free

to attain those goals I have set.

Children's stories and possible TV,

poems and prose – I hope, I dream.

I aspire to achieve, for the moment

without writing more books.

Scribbling poetry, thoughts and ideas

until my heart is content.

Promote and bring into public domain

a wealth of words chosen, to challenge

and provoke reactions, to

build up a following, all wanting

more about me and my work.

Develop relationships, forge new friendships

to last, forget being scared,

grow confidence back –

believe in me.
