The thing about being a writer
I am forced to be more than just a writer.
I am an artist
I must paint the scenes in my mind
Sculpt the world
Sketch out characters to the smallest detail.
I am an animator
Breathing life into everything.
I am to words as Prometheus was to clay.
I am an architect
Building homes, hideouts, palaces, cathedrals
And everything in between.
My tools
Paragraphs, sentences.
The thing about being a writer
I learn to be so much more
I am both child and parent
Teacher and student
Prisoner and warden
Betrayer and the betrayed.
I am a spy, researcher, and detective.
I am a warrior and a soldier.
I’ve become every person who has ever existed
And someone you never knew.
I am a sorcerer
Turning ink and paper into flesh and bone.
My magic words
Are ones we hear every day.
My spells make me equal parts Creator
And Destroyer.
I have lived every life
And snuffed out all of them.
I have felt every emotion
And know what it is to not feel any.
I know what it takes to heal
And to harm.
I build my audience a world
Whilst also breaking down theirs.
The thing about being a writer
I am free to be so much more.
i can relate to this.
