I am a writer
Words are the tools
I gather to tell stories
I am a writer
Words are the weapons
I pick up to fight injustice
I am a writer
Words are the imagination
I wield to make rainbows from storms
I am a writer
Words are the voice
I call out half-truths and lies
I am a writer
Words are the candles
I light to find beauty in the dark
I am a writer
Words are the lanterns
I burn to bring hope in times of despair
I am a writer
Words are the home
I return to every single day
PS. Thank you, Rachael Herron, for reminding me I am, and always have been a writer, and that I can use my words for good. It’s easy to forget we have agency when we’re feeling overwhelmed. Whatever your medium, dear reader, you too can use it to turn storms into rainbows.
