What is writing?
Writing is the slide of pencil on paper,
The stain of ink on fingertips.
It's in the margins of everything:
Homework, Composition Notebooks, class papers.
Writing is daydreaming in the slow moments
And creating new worlds from threads of imagination.
It's escaping to places where anything is possible,
Where you can touch the sky and move the earth.
Writing is the tip-tap of keys into the morning hours,
The glow of the computer screen the only light.
It's an escape from the real world,
A getaway where everything is choreographed and you know there's happy endings in sight.
Writing is the bored musings of a teenager
Dreaming of a future and career.
It is my passion, my hobby, my drive.
