Motherly Advice

"Why don't you write
Something nice?"
Why kid myself
Or you for that matter?
Go read
A children's book
If you want nice
This isn't
A fairy tale
So why make it out
To be?
"Because we have so much
Pain, loss and tears."
Reality is
Life is a job
Work is a job
Marriage is a job
Writing
Is a job
One I enjoy
At the moment
So don't tell me
To turn it into
Something nice
Because without this
I'd have gone insane
A long time
Ago
