I am a Writer

Words are Powerful as are the Wordsmiths

I am a Writer

 

 

I am a Writer

 

The creator of men

The destroyer of worlds

I can shackle the strong

I can liberate the weak

 

I am a Writer

 

With my thoughts I mold planets

With my words I wield power

With my pen I shape lives

 

I am a Writer

 

I am an immortal

With my words come permanence

My body may rot

But my spirt lives in

 

I am a Writer

 

Maya Angelou said words are things

And my words are things

The stuff of life

The primordial ooze from which all things originate

 

I am a Writer

 

The pen is mightier than the sword, at least mine is

Because my pen can become a sword

“this guy stabbed that guy with a sword”

See, I told you

 

I am a Writer

 

Do not doubt my power

I can create a beautiful world

“A vast expanse of green covering the rolling, hilly plains. Unkept grass swaying gently in the steady, summer breeze; waving and rippling like the waters of a massive but gentle lake under warm zephyrs”

And then I can burn it

“and it burned”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can give you a perfect life

“he had a great job, gorgeous mansion, beautiful wife, and three wonderful sons”

Just to take it away

“but the tornado destroyed his house, killed his family, and he fell into depression”

 

I am a Writer

 

I can kill you all

“Everyone logged onto WritersCafe died”

And resurrect you

“then they all came back”

Without you even knowing

“and they never knew”

 

I am a Writer

 

And when I leave you on that cliffhanger

Literally, a cliffhanger

“His legs dangled over the seemingly bottomless pit beneath him. The jagged rocks of the Cliffside tore at the skin on his chest and stomach. The agony was almost too much to bear. The pain in his fingers was unimaginable; a deep, fiery burn, begging him to relieve them of their duties. They could not be relieved, though, because their relief meant his death”

I could save you

“Then, in a sudden burst of strength and adrenaline, so strong it seemed like divine intervention, he found the strength to pull himself up.”

 

But I’m not that kind of Writer

 

Embrace your power

Reviews

[Kevin Horsley]

I am a writer because it allows me the freedom to express
I am a writer and I do it to impress
I am a writer because it relieves my stress
I find when I'm writing I'm at my best

I create characters in a situation
Which requires a little contemplation
Will they eat or suffer starvation
Some may die or achieve salvation

Writing was the only tool
That helped me to survive my school
The bullies in my world were fools
And I made sure I broke all the rules

I enjoyed your piece and have added to it - it is unrefined and a quick write but in there is a little of who I am and why. The whole story is much larger than the sum of its parts though.

A poet is someone who expresses and you have done so, it may not fit into a category but so what - who wants to be pigeon holed.

Keep up the good writes.

I am a writer
These words are agony
I need to get them down
express them to the world.

I am a writer
my words mesmerize
stun and kill people
but they are mine only

I am a writer
this is what I do.
I dont cure diseases
but I do save lives

I am a writer
This is a gift.
It does not happen if you try
it happened if you believe
It happenes if you want it

Really good job.

Writing keeps the dream alive

Your poem was empowering. I am not a poet either so I can't give any advice.

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed this poem. Thank you for the internet. In the days of old. I got 3-4 poem published in a year if I was trying. Last year I got published 12 times without trying. Site like this one can open doors to other places. Words do have power. I tell all people. Don't set yourself for failure. Lies will get twisted up and come back to you. Better to write with a honest pen and know peace. Thank you for a entertaining poem.

I am a writer because I wish to share my soul
Reach out to someone else in kind
I am writer because all these words I hold
Need to fly from the wings of my mind

[E.V. Black]

Very extremely powerful, my friend. It certainly got to me. :)

[∂αʌ<..]

wow!

[Lively]

Very nice.
I am a writer.
I have the world three times bigger than yours.
I have three eyes to shed tears.
I can make a stone speak.
I can make the cruel meek.

[Weaver]

I am a writer.
I can rip your heart from your chest,
Fling it sunward,
Then hand it back to you,
Burning.

Think of all the people we know and love
And have fallen in love with
Who only exist because some writer
Gave them life and a name.

(The full quote, by the way, is "Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword." Means that when society has its act together, artists and scholars are more respected than bullies. Imagine that.)
