A writer...

Sometimes I write so much I get a cramp in my wrist...
And then there are the times where I can't even pick up a pen to write my name.
I am a writer
I like to believe I write pictures with this pen of mine
I write the world as I see it: Good, Bad and everything in the middle...
I dream that one day someone will read my work and be inspired by it, they will change the world and in some big speech say what they have done was inspired by Claude A. Quartlbaum II...
But as it stands I am just a writer
Writing the world as I see it: Good, Bad, and everything in the middle...
Apart from being a writer, I am a man
A man who sees a world in need and wants to bring change
The thing is: I have no clue where to start or what to do..
So that brings me back to just being a writer, writing the world as I see it: Good, Bad and everything in the middle..
My whole life I've been told I am destined for greatness..
And now I sit at this place where I am on the precipice of greatness..
A greatness I can't actually see or interpret.
So I write, I write about my confusion, my fear, my life...
The pen is my escape
It is how I discover me..
The inspiration, the man, the voice of a people, a generation, and maybe even the world...
For now I am just a writer...
All I ask is you see past my imperfections and love me for who I am...
A writer.....
