Bleed

Authors live to enchant others to read

But readers are hard to entice, I know

They don't realize that, to write, authors bleed

For all you readers there's still time to grow

All readers should walk in an authors shoes

Go home and type some words on a blank screen

Write for yourself or you'll always lose

Write where you cant be seen

Make time to write, you've only just begun

I never once said writing was fun

Once your book is done, you need send it

You wait for weeks and receive your first <em>no

</em>You forgot to bleed
