I am a Writer

I am a writer...are you?

I am a writer
I can create a metaphor for love
Out of a branch and a bottle cap
I can write fire into the sky, or even into ice
And although I don’t know how to help you, my friend
My characters give great advice
I have fought so many wars
I have lived so many lives
Constantly falling so deep in love-
Losing my virginity all the time
I am a writer
I never admit defeat
Though I’ve got ink on my hands and cloths
And paper stuck in my teeth
I am a writer
A keyboard monkey
I can gargle graphite
And spit out a figure of speech
Sorry mom and dad its true, this is who I’ve become
You’ve tried to teach me better
But I simply write best drunk….
Off of love or course!
I can say I just write as a hobby
I can say it’s just for fun
But my pencil almost never goes down
Even with the moon…wait what?
I am a writer
Hopefully I can write myself into a job
But all I need is rent
Because I wouldn’t have time to shop
I am a writer
I guess you could say it’s a dream
I am a writer
And I’m not ashamed to be
