Wait Got Longer

I have been waiting to be a writer all these years. I had been waiting for an opportunity to come my way. It took me too long to realise that, if I wanted my dreams to come true, I had to fight for it. I had to take a stand for myself to make my dreams a reality.

My family was supportive, they in fact encouraged me to write, as much I wanted. The only thing that was stopping me was my own insecurity that I wasn't good enough. The wait got longer. I kept postponing my finish line at being a writer.

Meanwhile, everyone around me were becoming writers and poets. They eventually got famous too!

Being famous wasn't a thing for me. Being read was. That was all that matter to me. To write and be read. I was then told by my friend to ignore the effect of my action. I was meant to write. So, I will. If it is accepted or not is a story I shouldn't concern myself with.

I then applied for the assistance writer's post. If I get through, I'll have new doors opened for me!
