I Am No Writer


So this guy had a problem. More specifically, he had a problem with me and was asking questions about my mentality, trying to make me realize that it's no use being a writer because they can never make green and while their minds are unchained, they will never be free, stuck in an apartment in front of a computer screen destined to fail and never make it to the big leagues because there's a million writers and only one of me and that I'll never be able make a difference. Well, I told him this. I am no writer. I am an construction worker building on a foundation of sand, building with ideas and thoughts, ink and sleepless nights, and I'll keep on buildings until I reach another mind. I am no writer. I am an artist painting words on a page and living and breathing characters living in an age that wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for black ink and rainy days. I am no writer. I am a pilot guiding a plane, picking up travelers along the way so that they can see through my eyes and feel what I feel, and like how the dawn of another day illuminates the sky so too will a light illuminate the mind when they read what I have to say. I am no writer. I am an adventurer crossing into uncharted lands and leaving footsteps across the heart like footsteps tracing across gold sand as people read another adventure in these words of mine for I am no writer. I am just a girl with a pen who's got something to say.
