Long Way Home

Support

I find it somewhat ironic

That besides my faith

The most important thing to me

Is the thing least supported

By family, friends

My writing

I don’t tend to share as much with them

So they assume it’s poor

My mom doesn’t believe my dream can happen

My dad isn’t sure that it’s possible

For me

To do it

One friend doesn’t appreciate it

The way she used to

The rest don’t know it exists

My greatest passion

Is either a secret

Or a fantasy

That won’t provide more than pennies for me

So they say
