“There’s no doubt about it, as a writer finding success is tough. Becoming a bestseller is a lottery and worse, it depends on others helping or hindering you too. Still, whatever gets in your way, you have to keep going. You may think it’s never going to happen and feel all is lost – I did. There is hope if you fight on and change your mind.”
I wrote this poem for the following prompts:
Ragtag Daily Prompt — Change
Your Daily Word — Plunge
Changing Mindset
Chances are you need a change
Hang a left and take the plunge
A fresh start might feel strange
Negative past will expunge
Growing positivity fills the range
Engorge your courage and lunge
You control your fate
Others might try to control
Unbidden darkness they create
Reignite passion and reap your goal
Mindset is the golden key
Inspiration is your gas pedal
Now go forth and be free
Determination wins the gold medal
Thanks for reading my friends.
There’s more in the Poetry Corner, Poetry Nook, and the Short Story Collection
Have a great day!

I agree with the other commenters — this is inspirational. A reminder that determination is incredibly important. We’ll have ups and downs in our creative lives. It’s pushing forward, through the down times that’ll keep us going.

The pep talk so many of us need. This is wonderful, Mason. And I did not know this style of poetry–acrostic. I learned something new–and you are very good at this!

I used to play at Acrostic a lot when I was young. Learned it in English and loved having fun with it. I enjoyed how it worked so positively today. Thanks for reading.
