My brain works
more than my fingers.
I am empowered
by language and words.
I read voraciously.
I speak eloquently.
I scribble succinctly.
I have an inquisitive mind.
I am meticulous to details.
And I rewrite endlessly.
I express my thoughts and opinions
with no fear nor inhibition.
I argue with your points.
I have the evocative imagery.
I enjoy the pleasures of imagination.
I think of the unthinkable;
and I dream of the impossible.
I do not just glance
and flip pages while reading.
I do not speak my mind
without profoundness and meaning.
I do not settle with a draft–
Because
I think of you each time I write:
For you to read something good,
For you to take something worthwhile,
And for me to create a difference in your lives.
Because, that is how I should be.
I am a writer.
Just so the paper knows.
This is my favorite, thought the whole thing is great!!
“I express my thoughts and opinions with no fear and inhibition”
Life should be lived this way. The would would be a much better place.
I started a new blog, different, I would be honored if you would read it.
