Perilous Writer


There are perils to being a writer

A writer determines the conditions

A flawlessly dangerous romance  

 

Our characters are flawed in the perfect way

They suffer real insurmountable problems

They make poor decisions 

 

They laugh with their heads back

They cry with humble hearts

They love a wholesome love

 

As the writer with god-like ability

Our words create life from nothing

Our pen dancing closer to the cliff of reality

 

There are dangers to being a writer

Because the real world will always disappoint
