So you want to be a writer



so you want to be a writer

Do you want to exchange conversations for writing
voice by lyrics
Turning Pain and Happiness into Poems
Art
Create characters in heartbreaking romance stories,
To bore the heart and shed tears when asking "Why?"
Affirm that the feeling disappears, and the loved one hurts us,
Betrays trust, disturbs our peace
Ahh
It's hours of solitude sitting in a chair
Sometimes yes, sometimes no
Times when only thoughts, paper and pen, the cup of coffee keep us company
In describing what it feels like to tell lived experiences,
passions and fables difficult to occur in this modern time,
In this crazy and ignorant society of affections

Is this what you want?
Create fantasies where you are the narrator
in a universe that only you control
a comfort zone
A look at the private and different place where creativity is poured, while the world sinks into ruins,
Vans bylaws and spending comparisons
mere deluded
ignore them
Rather, it embraces the fictitious and flees the reality of macabre, selfish and monkey-like acts of the futile behavior of empty people.

So you want to be a writer?
Talk about a new beginning with every paragraph
Cause an impact with each quoted phrase, arouse curiosity and countless possibilities for a happy ending with each reticence
Make the hearts of these readers flutter with mysteries to be unraveled

Not for fame, not for money
Just write
Writing to express what you cannot verbalize
Just write
Free the masterpiece through the powerful pen and seductive white sheets,
Delight in seeing filled notebook lines
And pleased to have
Intellectual property exposed to the public
if you want to be The Poet embrace all pain and life experience, accept this baptism

From: Leuclides Santo.
