This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNT chapter.

I’m not a writer, but I wish I could be.

I want to capture

The way the waning sunlight strokes your chin

Delicately.

I want to capture

The adrenaline rushing through my body

My hands pound the steering wheel

Laughter, now the lyrics of my song.

 

I’m not a writer.

But if I were

There would be a story

Of every late-night

Soul-searching talk.

There would be a list of everything

That makes my friends smile.

 

I’m not a writer.

There is no word to describe me.

I am a walking contradiction:

Someone impossible to pin down,

So easy to label.

I don’t belong to any box.

Any definition.

I only belong to the silence

At 3am

When my mind paints the stories

And I direct my movies

For an audience that will never watch.
