Writers

We write the words,
We put emotions onto paper,
We put the feelings onto the page,
We create the characters you love,
And the characters you love to hate,
We try to express,
We try to help you feel,
We try to give you something,
Something that is real,
Sometimes things that aren’t,
Sometimes dreams,
Sometimes wishes,
Sometimes hopes,
Sometimes a world to lose yourself in,
We pour our hearts,
Our souls,
Onto the pages,
The pages you read,
Once lovely just written by hand,
Now typed to be kept forever,
We love ourselves,
We hate ourselves,
We have our dark moments,
We have our bright moments,
We fight,
We scream,
At our imaginary friends,
The ones we create,
When we create different worlds,
We hurt when they do,
We love when they do,
We see what they see,
We believe what they believe,
We bleed,
We sweat,
We carry on through,
We make compromises,
We make war,
We make love,
We live,
We breathe,
Everything around us,
We are the writers,
We write the words,
The words you fall in love with,
The ones that bring you hope,
Help you see you are not alone,
Help you see through the hurt,
The pain,
The darkness,
And everything in between,
We are the writers,
The warriors of these mighty words,
The emotions,
The dreams,
The hopes of many,
Both real and imaginary,
We are the writers,
We are you.
