Open Letters To Closed Doors

Work/Obsession

I've heard some people say
"Oh, you're a writer
That must be nice
Not to have to work"
I just smile and nod
Knowing that they will never
Truly understand
Anything about this life
No matter how hard
I try to explain it
The only thing
I can think of to say is
"You get to leave your job
And not think about it
While I live with my work
All day, every day"
