I Am A Writer

If I wasn’t a writer.

I’d still be hardworking.

I’d still be funny.

I’d still be kind.

Be also…

I’d still be jealous.

I’d still be crazy.

I’d still be a mess.

But as a writer,

I’m a little less embarrassed by all that.

I’m a little more proud of the good.

When I write, I learn.

When I write, the kind things they say to me become true.

Even when I take a break…

When I’m depressed,

Or carefree.

I can always go back to being a writer.

If I wasn’t a writer, I would never know,

That I am a wondrous person.
