Anything but A Writer

If you could be anything in the world, what would you choose?

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps I could find peace. But I am a Writer and there is no peace in this work.

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps I could belong. But I am a Writer and the only time I don't feel alone is in the pages I fill.

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps I could sleep. But I am a Writer and there is no sleep when your imagination runs wild.

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps I could be free. But I am a Writer and the only time I find freedom is within these lines.

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps life would be different. But I am a Writer and all I can do is create the lives I dream of.

If I was anything but a Writer, perhaps I would create something else. But I am a Writer and no matter what I do, my fingers will always find a pen.

My hand will always find a page. And my heart will always have a story to tell.

Because I am a Writer.

I've been writing stories since the 6th grade so this is mostly things that didn't make final drafts or just the thoughts that find their way into my head and onto my notes app.

So grab a warm drink, a comfy blanket, and stay awhile! :)
