I set this fundraiser up “Dream as a Writer & Advocacy Fund” so others may give to help me financially continue to write, blog, and author my next “Two Books.”  See, I have no income as I have been fighting for my SSI-Disability benefits I’ve worked very hard all my live, starting at 16, up to 6 years ago. I stilled worked in 2002 when I was first diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. But After my 2nd stay in a “Crisis Center” in 2006, I finally had to stop working due to “Not Only” my Bipolar disorder, but also from heart problems, a muscle disease, and side effects from all the meds I have to take.

poem-put it away


Boom!! Impact!!

Shawn L. Bird's avatarShawn L. Bird

Put it away

will always be blue and black.

Walk away

Put away

that dream

and claim

life.
