So you call yourself a writer
an ode to beginning again
So you call yourself a writer
and anyone can see
that writing is more than just for you or me
writing is like blood, effortlessly flowing
always knowing where it is going
only there is a hole
and it is flowing and spreading everywhere
you're unable to contain the thoughts and all the flair
so writing is more like breathing
something you don't think about
except when you notice your breath
you start to freak out
so writing is like the bicycle you haven't touched in years
waiting for you to start
and hoping it never ends
you sit down and decide to try
writing that is
please take a deep breath, don't hold it in
you start with a single sentence
so you call yourself a writer

This is wonderful!
The comparison to breathing is my favorite. I don’t believe writers ever stop. We’re writing long texts or emails or DMs to people we love, or reviews on Yelp and Goodreads. We’re writing in our heads when we go days without picking up a pen or typing out anything. It’s only when we think about it that we freak out, just like breathing.
It's the slower starts building to the cataclysm of thoughts that distract and alarm, and then the return to self. Wonderful!
This is Awesome 😉❤️💯📝 👍
