What Gives Me the Nerve!

 I try not to be naive, but, I guess I can't help myself sometimes. I honestly thought that my lovely world of social media friends, whom barely even comment on my posts, would come to my rescue and, help me reach my Gofundme goal to become a self published poet. Not to discount those whom actually did because, there were a few and I appreciate you!!!

I figured, I would post a few of my pieces for everybody to review, everyone would read them... Everyone would like them... and my awesomeness would bring a slew of donors rushing to my page. Whom, in turn, would eagerly respond by rapidly punching in their credit card information, to help out a friend in need. This was to happen, all within the first 48. I saw the scene play out vividly in my head. I'm surprised my vision didn't begin with a blinding marquee.

I saw people sharing my poems and pondering their favorite lines, while ordering their Caramel Macchiato. They were telling their other friends, about their friend that was diagnosed with lupus, an I curable autoimmune disease, and how she is still so passionate about her poetry dream that she writes until her swollen, sausage like fingers can't type anymore. After hearing that heart wrenching news, their friends would Gofundme and tell their friends, and their friends would tell their friends, and so on, an so forth. I had it all mapped out in my noggin.

However, 8 donors later, and all snapped back into reality, I am still waiting for "the people" to catch on to my big plan. Still climbing that highest mountain, and dreaming that dream! I think I can, I believe I can, I know I can do it! Fortunately, there is still time for you to make a donation:-) You can take part in changing my life.

What gives me the nerve!
