Word upon word, page upon page

This is why I write

Escape the hurt and pain, all the realities of this world

I am a warlock, the pen is my wand

And with it I create

My imagination fuels my passion

My sentences daggers

That pierce the minds and hearts

Of all that see and read it

Swallow up my thoughts

Partake in my world

Full of wonder and woe

To be or not to be

The masterpiece of mediocrity

For my enjoyment and to all

For freedom and amusement

For money and fame

For sharing the truth and fantasy

For this is why I write 

The writer of today

The writer as we know it
