Do it as you like

"if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
[...]
do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way."

Charles Bukowski -roll the dice

The first one who
Might like what you write
Is you.
Don’t worry about what
Others may think.
Do it as you like

If you want to talk about
Death, suicide, murder, rape
Or even hope and happiness
Go ahead.
And keep going ‘till it looks just like you wanted it
To look.
It’s your poem, your short story, your novel
Or whatever the hell it is
It ‘s yours and you shouldn’t care about what
They’ll say
Do it as if you were going to cut your hair
Or buy new clothes or build a house.
Do it as you like.

Pick up your pen and write.
Cut your arms and write with your blood
If you need to
- Many have done it before –
Just don’t wait.
Cos the pen won’t write for you.
I said
the pain won’t write for you
And nothing else will.

Do it as you like
Cos once you had the gut to do
someone out there will like.
And if you don’t believe me just look at
All this crap around you
On television, on radio, on internet, on bookstores.
Someone made it. Someone liked it.
The same will happen to you.
Don’t be afraid and do it!
As you like, as you want.
