BORN WRITER

I’m a born writer

I created the villain

As well as the victor

I’m like a God of a sort

Cos out of my head comes wellsprings of life

I’m a born writer

To study

Not only for money

Was always found in my kind

I could stay awake like an owl in the night

With my folks wondering if I couldn’t sleep at night

But I’d rather lose sleep

Than to lose ideas on a night’s rest

I’m a born writer

But my critics could not fathom my kind

Laid back, they thought I was made blank

Blabbing about their hearts like a race bike

But I’d rather keep mum to make my brain high

Till I spill…

Even the last book of a drained brain

I’m a born writer

Been writing since I was a toddler

Little wonder

They marvel at my love life

Of how I coin words or how I woo them

I don’t know

But I’m a born writer

Of a clan that never says die

They tried but they failed to stop me

And they never knew

If I don’t write

… I lose my mind!
