A LOVE THAT CAN’T BE FOUND

I see the way you look when she’s around.
I see how happy you get when she comes around
And the look in her eyes has got you boundbut why do you look for a love that can’t be found?
What’s going to happen if you give her your whole and she takes it all?
You’re going to fall.
See, don’t fall in love if there’s no one to catch you,
Else you’ll keep looking for a love that can’t be found.
What is happiness, can you find it in the ugliness of the dry bones you’ve thrown away and made a cry for life?
“See, my desire to inspire the world holds the vision I believe in and despite all that I’m feeling I know I’m still in the game.
A love that can’t be found is the throne I’ve been crowned.”
So weak and broken he begins to speak for the young hearted souls to gain control.
Maybe this way the love he gives will be the answered prayers for all his failures in love.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
