There is a writer in all of us
narrating our lives
through pain distress heartbreak
happiness, joy, love
There is a writer in all of us
Staying up late nights to find one word
spilling coffee on papers
memory loss, or stained into our brains
There is a writer in all of us
struggling to put everything together
connecting one sentence to another
trying to organize strayed thoughts
There is a writer in all of us
we writers have the advantage
we guide the pen that draws our lives
to make it into whatever we can imagine
to master our thoughts and emotions
and to be true to ourselves
for what is being a writer all about
but to suck all the marrow out of life
