Born a Star

She was born a star. Not like the ones in movies. But a real showman of the earth. She wrote plays of real-life people. And the common-placed mysteries of life. She was not well liked, but her words true with life's fortitude. She was brilliant. I want to write like that. Not just common-placed. I want the world to read my stories. And think of what they mean. I want my writings to go far. Like the stars in the sky. So many you can't count. Then I too will be that star. Like her Agatha. A born writer, a born star.
