I am a writer
The most mysterious being in the universe
The saddest
The happiest
The most tortured
The most inspirational
A person who sees past the outside self
To the very essence of mankind
And puts it into words
A creator of worlds
With boundless imagination
A being that should be impossible
For the power I wield
Changes countless lives
I am a writer
And that’s what I’ll always be

The author's comments:
Because writers aren't created. It's just something that can't be taught. The ability to use your imagination and translate thoughts is something only writers can do.
