I want to be a writer

I want to write down everything

I want to collect words and paint them

Like the rainbow in the sky

I want my words to rearrange broken tiles

Can they enhance somebody's life?

I don't want to insert words just because they're there

Or just because they rhyme

I want my words to mean something

And that's the reason why I write

 

I love to write down what I see

What I hear and what I feel

I also love to write what I think someone else may need to hear

Writing is my passion and possibly my life

I was born with pen in hand and so, naturally, I write

 

I want to be a writer

But wait... I already am!

“You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.”
― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

“Here's what I think," I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. "I think maybe everybody falls," I say. "I think maybe we all do. And I don't think that's the asking."
I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's listening.
"I think the asking is whether we get back up again.”
― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
