Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

I can write about anything?
I’m not going to start off slow
You need not tell me how to think
For I already know

All these people are writing ‘bout stuff
Like death, disease, and fairy fluff
To be very honest now, I’ve had enough
Writing isn’t always sad and tough

Loosen up, and feel the flow
And let your thoughts like fireflies glow
See the wonderful world around
And not in sorrow shall you drown

He, it seems, he writes to earn
Some, they say, they write to shun
Do you truly write to win?
Well, let me tell you
I write for fun.
