I'm a Writer

This is what being a writer always seems to feel like

Just because I say that I love
Doesn’t mean that I mean it.
I’m a writer.
I write so it looks good-sounds good.
If I said that I just liked,
No way what I wrote would be liked.

And she said,
You write such beautiful words
Beautiful words
Beautiful words,
But they’ll mean nothing to no one,
If they mean nothing to you.

Although when I say I feel pain,
I mean it more than I can write.
I’m a writer.
I try to write it so it looks good-sounds good.
But I only know so many words.
I just need so many more words.

I didn’t know what to say
What to say
What to say
To you.
All I could say was that I’ll miss
Oh-I’ll miss
Of course, I’ll miss
I’ll miss you.

And she said,
You write such beautiful words
Beautiful words
Beautiful words,
But they’ll mean nothing to no one,
If they mean nothing to you.

Very deep, so deep,
within the writer's lines
his heart they keep
and if to himself
the writer be true
his words however
flippant or profound
shall have spoken
his soul out loud.
Good to be reading you again!

It sounds like all you need is a recording studio!! I really rather enjoyed this piece and think you did a great job!!

I like this . I can't put my finger on why, it just...I honestly do not know. I really just love what it says and the intent behind it. Good job!

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say these are lyrics, and beautiful ones at that. Strategic exaggeration is often a common tool among us writers, and you display the often misleading downside of that really wonderfully. Great write, I enjoyed it.
