This is from a friend of mine who used to post here, so if you recognise the style, you're probably right.
Anistasia tried to get him to post this, but was turned down. Through much badgering, I managed to get him to let me and here it is. It's not TG, it's just nice and I think you'd better have a look because it makes you feel good inside.
It's called The Writer
No star to be my guide
No rules and no direction
“Where to?” I can’t decide
I’ve had all kinds of jobs before
From factory to field
From offices and salons too
My fate was never sealed
And then I wrote a story
It wasn’t very long
But I was disappointed
For it should have been a song
I couldn’t get the lyrics down
The focus wasn’t there
As words turned into sentences
The song just went nowhere
Still I didn’t realise
How thoughts inside my head
Could end up on the paper
Not songs, but prose instead
I chanced upon some story sites
One day when I was free
And came to the conclusion
“Hey, shit, this could be me”
Could I do just as well as these?
Could I write down some prose?
Until I start and finish one
Heaven only knows
Then the words began to flow
And stories did appear
I’m still no good at poetry
I s’pect that’s pretty clear
But now I have direction
Although it doesn’t pay
And whilst I wish with all my heart
It doesn’t work that way
Now I take it step by step
To walk before I run
And write the book, I know’s inside
Meanwhile it’s just some fun
But watch out in your bookstores
For one day I’ll be there
In hardback or in paperback
I really do not care
One day I will be published
I know it in my heart
For now it’s the beginning
And that’s the hardest part

However did you get him to let you post this? I begged and pleaded to no avail. I am so excited to see it here.
Thanks Lady E

Silly me doesn't recognize the style, but I know the feeling behind this one. It could be me! No need to give away who wrote this. Keep their privacy, but please, please pass on how much I enjoyed this one!
Hugs!

Lady Eleanor,
I do believe that most, if not all authors can say that this poem says alot about posting a story.
May Your Light Forever Shine
May Your Light Forever Shine
For me?
I started as a dreamer
No star to be my guide
No rules and no direction
“Where to?†I can’t decide
Second star to the right; straight on until morning?
Love, Andrea Lena
Second star on the right?
As a Sagittarian, I'm always supposed to be aiming for the farthest star and expecting to hit it :)
Perhaps one day I will!
Thank you for your comment. You've made an old man very happy!

this is
what we all feel like at least once we have at least
Goddess Bless you
Love Desiree
I live in hope
Actually, I live in a little village in France, but who's counting.
I've gone from zero to five Kudos in a few hours and that's fantastic. Thank you for your input!
Perhaps one day that poem will come true.
For all of us
