Let's read out what it takes to be a writer :
To be a writer
smother your
racing thoughts
until they breakthrough
their breath
unable to be extinguished
by your doubting fear
to be a writer
is to stay awake
until the sun starts
breaking apart the darkness
at the edge
of the earth's seam
with a full-page
of words
tangled
that you won't be able to read
when you wake up
at noon
to be a writer
is to think
not only for yourself
but for every character
locked in your soul
trying to reach out
for their thoughts
and words
to stretch across
the lined
expanse
to be a writer
is to think
for everyone else
you know
and form thought bubbles
and backstories
for the strangers
you meet on the street
to be a writer
is to see the beautiful
in the ugly
whispering
and the ugly
in the beautiful
screaming
