Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Brain Child |
Bonkers
Because I strive for writing fame,
BONKERS is my middle name.
Please tell me that in future days
My words will have some worthwhile praise.
Readers, help the writer me
to cast off INSECURITY.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a mantra.
Beth says
Great poem! sums up my feeling nicely ๐
Lisa Gail Green says
I LOVE your poems!! This one's a keeper. I feel like printing it out and posting it on my wall. ๐
Beverly Stowe McClure says
This is so good I read it a couple of times. I love both of your books and I bet lots of other readers love them too. One day everyone will know your name.
Catherine Stine says
Love the poetry! You are great!
LynNerdKelley says
Bravo, Lee! Love this poem! Get rid of that insecurity. Your writing rocks! Really and truly. I'll be purchasing The Princess of Las Pulgas with an Amazon gift card I won! Still haven't had a chance to write a review for Sliding on the Edge, but I will. It's sooooooo good, Lee.
Theresa Milstein says
Ha! Love this. Sending secure vibes your way…

How funny. This is the Mantra of my brain. Did you write it for me?

C. Lee McKenzie says
I did, indeed! I hope you don't mind sharing. It seems we have a few writers that go Bonkers every once in a while. ๐
Beth says
I love this.
Mary Aalgaard, Play off the Page says
Lovely poem. I think I will memorize it.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
It is definitely not Bonkers!
Samantha says
It will happen! Take Dory's advice from "Finding Nemo"
"Just keep swimming"

I love the poem! I can just imagine how hard it would be to put so much of yourself into something and then toss it out to be loved/hated/abused/enjoyed by total strangers. No wonder you have insecurity issues! Just remember that most of us are too insecure to do that much so you already have us non-writers beat!
LM Preston says
Somedays we all feel like giving up – but then we can't help ourselves. But the first thing I did was get my own personal cheerleader – my self. And I talk to her daily in the mirror when I'm in a write funk.
Ashling says
I promise that one day your words will have worthwhile praise. For real.
Carol Kilgore says
There are days we all feel that way. At least I do. Thanks for commenting for Alex on my blog.
