writers
writers have the power to tell their story
through life experiences
encounters, moments
where the pen and paper are transcribed
through the eyes of a person who writes
where people don't relate unless they take the time to at least walk a mile in their shoes
if it don't fit, don't wear it
don't wear them knowing it doesn't fit
yet complain about it
try on something else
if you don't like what the writers write in sharing their stories
look for something else
but don't margalize them
in how they should write
I hear the slogan be the authors of your life
and tell your story
don't let others tell it for you
don't promote something and not honor what the mission stands for
you're be nothing, but lying hypocrites
i'm going to tell my stories
please don't tell it for me

Personal narrative about writing and authorship with abstract ideals about voice and authenticity.
Multiple ideas layered densely: writing power, empathy, authenticity, hypocrisy, personal agency.
Mixed: empowering message tempered by criticism of inauthenticity and hypocrisy.
Urgent, declarative voice with imperative commands and passionate conviction throughout.
Approximately 25 lines; falls within 16-30 range.
Some figurative elements (walking in shoes metaphor) but mostly direct, declarative statements.
Primarily lyric first-person voice with some universal address; minimal dramatic persona.
