The writer, the DREAMer, the fighter


I am a writer,

poetry is my soul:

I am a writer,

poetry came to me on its own.

 

I am a DREAMer,

my writing is my voice;

I am a DREAMer,

poetry runs my thoughts.

 

I am a fighter,

poetry is my force.

I am a fighter

poetry runs to my blood.

 

I am writer,

through my writing I speak of love.

I am a writer:

my writing expresses the truth.

 

I am a DREAMer

fighting to be heard.

I am a DREAMer

asking to be treated fair.

 

I am a fighter

defending my rights,

I am a fighter

expressing the needs of the weak.

 

I am a writer

speaking the silent truth.

 

I am a writer, a dreamer, a fighter.

<p>Just wanted to excuse my accent, and the fact that I am camera shy. I know it doesn&#39;t rhyme or follows a certain format, but like it says, poetry comes to me on its own, and it expresses the reasons why I write.</p>
