Those who wish to follow me, better tread very carefully.

If you wish to emulate my ways, it maybe a good idea to think twice.

You will have to experience the bad, to appreciate the good.

Be prepared for criticism, in the words that you display

If today is an unhappy one, then write another day.

Never wish for fame, you may just get what you want.

The context, that you work towards, may not be seen by others.

So remember with your poetry, to take your time, do not rush.

Because, however quick you print your words, they can, just as quickly be crushed.
