It's not easy being a white female writer

I look at who wins the awards

and its every different race and ethnicity
they want total diversity, we’re talking 10 to 50 thousand dollar awards
and some of these people are so young
what I couldn’t do with that kind of money
I’ve got friends and teachers who could nominate me
but they never have, I’m not trying to racist here
but it certainly helps if your’e black.
It hasn’t stopped me from writing
and my works are all over Google Plus and Twitter
at least I have a following, but this is all I can do
and I want to see the money one day.
