Getting Published

I, who have
The gumption
And the arrogance
To believe
My thoughts
And observations
Are worth writing,
And that the world
Will want to read
What I have written,
Struggle with
Getting my words
Into print.
I have tried
Everything I could think of
For the last three years
To find a publisher
Who would be willing
To take on my work,
But to no avail.
I had a literary agent,
But that did me
No good either.
I have endured
And continued editing
And writing my books
And in the process,
Have exhausted
All my financial resources,
Yet calling it quits
Is out of the question.
It is painfully obvious
That the books won’t ever
Be published
Unless I give up
Trying to do it alone
And enroll others
In making them happen.
