What I am, What you are

I’m trying to write, trying to be poetic Sarcastic, romantic, funny, inspiring All things I’m not but can be I’m just me and when I write that’s who I want to be Words and the power of the pen are the greatest weapons I have Moving the ink over the paper is my great escape Release from incessant, noisy thoughts To say that I express myself better is an understatement I put myself out there I’m exposed My very essence and being are those words that I write You don’t need to be any Shakespeare or Edward Allen Poe to be a writer As long as you’re writing what’s in your heart with your own voice Pick up your pen and write They have no choice But to listen to you Awestruck by this wonderful, unbelievable creature That is you
