It is hard to believe that I am saying these words.

It truly is.

I got published in a literary magazine.

This is hard to believe because I have dyslexia and English class was painful for me throughout the school years. I have a passion for reading and writing, but none that I could feel proud to share with the world. It was a struggle and often a point of embarrassment for me. So under the same pseudonym I use here, I sent a literary magazine a poem for possible publishing.

The poem was called, “Moments of Monotony.”

I care not for botany
I care more for the moments of monotony
The peace and silence of the extraordinary in the ordinary
Finding the imperfect, perfectly perfect
Creating a masterpiece of our broken pieces

Every song and sonnet came true
Every fantasy couldn’t compare

Together, there is nothing in the world we couldn’t do
There is no long periods of despair
We is simply me and you
There is no need to be aware
And for me that is enough
So hold me tight even if it gets tough

For you, I will cross fiery pits
‘Cause I love you to bits
Do not shower me in gifts
Just sit with me in this moment of monotony
Enjoy the peace and silence of the extraordinary in the ordinary
Find the imperfect, perfectly perfect
Creating a masterpiece of our broken pieces

I couldn’t believe that I was published in PCC Inscape Magazine. It shows that we can accomplish the dreams that we think are impossible if we simply just try.
