I am a writer

I am a writer

I write because I want to write

I write to be heard in that great chorus of life

I write because it makes me stand out

It makes me, well, me.

I don’t write to impress,

I write to impart.

Sometimes I may not write well,

Sometimes I crack myself up,

Sometimes I am actually moved to tears,

Sometimes I have to stop because I am actually sweating

Sometimes I have to say what no one else wants to say,

I have to open that can of worms, of whoop ass, of shit

Because when it hits the page it becomes real

Everyone has to deal with it.

Days I will write until there is nothing left,

I gave it all to the page.

I find joy in my writing

Each and every piece I write is a piece of me.

When I write I feel peace

Because I am doing what I am supposed to do.

Writing.
