My Dream


My dream job is to write,

to create anything my heart and mind desires.

I will create worlds,

both beautiful and ugly,

new and old,

peaceful and dangerous.

I will recreate places that exist in the real world,

making the reader feel at home with nothing more than ink and paper.

I will bring characters to life

that will be loved or hated.

Characters that will do good for others

or try to destroy for their own personal gain.

I will have sequences and scenes

that will keep the reader at the edge of their seat.

Moments that will bring laughter.

Moments that will bring tears. 

Luckily for me,

I've lived this dream for over a year.

What was one a dream

is now reality.

I am hoping to become an author when 'I grow up'. I've already begun work on short stories and am even currently working on my first novel. But now I am going to start giving poetry a try after my Creative Writing teacher encouraged me to. Luckily she let me know in class that it isn't all rhymes and rhythms that make a poem, there are other styles like map poems and list poems that I have tried. I am new to poems so most of the stuff I wind up submitting may not be the greatest. But I hope to improve over time and better myself as an overall writer.
