The Writer's Life

A free-verse poem about the life of an everyday person.

Everyone is a writer
We write our own lives
We choose to do what we want to do
We become what we want to become

When we write
People come to life
Stories come to be
And worlds come to exist

Sometimes we stop writing
We don't know how to go on
The page stays blank
But the writer must keep writing on

And then finally
After all the effort
Knowing you've done your best
The story just ends.
