I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL -Poetry

 I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL -Poetry

I have sold my soul to the mighty pen.
I have sold my soul for the very few wins.
I give my time to the characters I created.
I give my time to the stories dictated.
I hold my disappointment to rejection.
I hold to the hope of the submission selection.
I want to walk away and do something else.
I want to stop and walk away.
I want to quit, but I am pulled by the sway.
I need to leave for some social fun.
I need to leave for a bit of sun.
But the ideas are flowing through my head.
To stop now fills me with dread.
I will ignore all my other needs.
I will neglect all my other deeds. 
I have sold my soul to the mighty pen.
I have sold my soul for the very few wins.
