Are you a poet?
Some say I’m one
Are you in the business?
It’s hard to break through.
Anyone who is anyone cant see you.
Are you a star?
Do you mean like the ones in the sky?
Yes, are you a star?
Maybe a twinkle in my family’s eyes.
What have you done?
Not enough, I guess.
My work is not recognized.
I will do my best.
Why don’t you change your style?
Do you mean change who I am?
No just your writing style
Again, change who I am.
Why not just a little?
A little is too much.
I’ll be hiding in shadows.
And there are enough shadows around us.
I’ll ask you a question.
Alright, go ahead.
Why are you a writer…reporter?
That is who I am when I get out of bed.
That’s funny.
What’s funny? Tell me, please.
I should change the way I write and convey a story.
To make you feel at ease.
Is there anything else you want to say?
Yeah, I do.
I’m a poet, writer, lover, friend.
I cannot change what comes to me.
Stifling my creativity.
I may be raunchy, rude, crude and downright harsh.
But everything I do comes from the heart.
Don’t read what I write.
It may not be for you.
But I’ll keep writing.
To thine self be true.
