Writing

I love writing.

The tap of hitting a key on a key board

Or the feel of dragging a pen across a page

Watching words and meaning

I've created

Appear right before my eyes.

 

I hate writing.

The constant drumming of a keyboard

Or the cramp I get in my hand from using a pen

Erasing something I've made because

It's not good enough.

Hours of time wasted.

 

I love writing.

Creating worlds and characters.

The plots and the relationships.

Exploring life.

While in the comfort of

My home.

 

I hate writing.

Attempting to make a concept.

Failed character designs.

Being unable to explore my new world

Because it all feels so

Fake.

 

I love writing.

Sharing what I have made with others

Seeing them taking in this piece

Of myself.

And tell me that

I'm great.

 

I hate writing.

Being force to share my writing

And watching dead eyes stare back.

I can see it in their dead eyes.

Not wanting to tell me that it sucks.

That I suck.

 

I am a writer.

And I will never know

Whether my love of writing

Or my hatred of it

Will end up winning in the end.

Or if it will always just be like this.

Absolutely beautiful work. I love it. I especially like the last stanza. Your free verse style is gorgeous.
