Overtime

Writing is labour-intensive, but we do what we do–because. -Michelle Liew

I wake

Before the world rises

To labour unseen—

Soothing readers’ cries, sharing their joy

With a pen,

Silently melding.

No title.

No Crown.

☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕☕ ☕ ☕

But I still,

Show up,

relishing word crumbs

Of delight.
