A Poem About Having a Writer's Mind

I have a writer's mind.

My thoughts aren't always my own

Sometimes I'm a princess, a warrior, a man

Sometimes I'm an animal

Sometimes I'm royalty

Sometimes I'm an outcast

I have a writer's mind.

I'll be walking down the street

But in my mind I'm flying above the trees

On the back of a dragon

Being stolen away to his lair

Anxious to meet my fate

I have a writer's mind.

I can't always be where I am

My mind wanders to many different places

Different countries

Undiscovered kingdoms

Waiting planets

I have a writer's mind.

Different voices in my head

All characters waiting for their story to be written

Wanting their name in lights

Or at least on the cover of a book

Maybe someday a movie poster

I have a writer's mind.

It's difficult inside my head

I can't always be myself

Because I'm a writer

I'm a million different people, places, and things

All at the same time

All because

I have a writer's mind.
