What writing really is

The pen soars

leaps

flies

across the page

dancing against the paper

creating lines

curves

letters

words form

spun from the thin, golden thread of imagination.

The pen twirls

twists

words and realities flowing through my body

using a pen to channel my creations

using paper as my trustworthy canvas

writing is an art;

we escape from the fearsome world of reality

into the safe havens of our own

we are trapeze artists

swinging and gliding

twisting and streaking

illuminating paths into other worlds that we never even realized existed

we are silhouettes of millions of possibilities

reflections of the beautiful chaos of our imagination

giving endlessly to boundless worlds

creating what was seen as the impossible

but is now viewed as endless possibilities

    Orange pen

    curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page

    fulfilling my orders

  • How come?

    Are you aware

    what you did?

    For the third time?

    Once again?

    Do you know

    how I feel?

    Ignored

    overlooked

    how come?

    How come you didn't put in my effort?
