A Writer

"I am a writer," I told myself.
And people actually believe.
I walked around with a pen and a paper
Thinking its what WRITERS did

I am a writer
Yes, that's who I am
I jotted nonsense once in a while
And post them anywhere

I am a writer
That's what I believe I am
Been toying with ideas lately
But not a word was written of it

I am a writer
A bad one I admit
I write and people criticize
Making me sorry for myself

I am a writer
That's why I'm broke
Writers don't earn much
Except when we make it good

I am a writer
By heart I know
But I have to give up on it
Because I can't seem to write anything

Yeah, a writer
That's only a dream
Writing isn't just for me
So I continued to be a reader instead.
