So I write

by

entry picture

 

My pen is no way obliged to cheap fame,

I write for I have to write.

My struggle is no way a shame,

I am awake forever for I have to fight.

My words are no way adulterated

with fake emotion,

I write for my soul makes me restless,

without striving callous attention.
