The life of a writer isn't always a breeze
There are bumps and potholes along the way
The fear of lack of creativity
And the fear of rejection
Are always among his troubles
But once that pen touches the paper
He is free

All his feelings
Whether it be pain,sorrow,joy or anger
Are instantaneously converted
Into a story or a poem which will be cherished for generations to come
A piece constructed by comparing feelings to real things that make everything seem so weightless to him
For once that pen touches the paper
A writer is free

As free as the eagle
Soaring through the evening ski
As free as the cheetah
Running through the Saharan plains
As free as the dolphin
Swimming through the vast depths of the ocean
For once that pen touches the paper
The writer is free
