Description
I am a scientist;Pinning down ideas
like butterflies
preserving them in
their fragile beauty
as I take away their freedom,
their life.
I am a parasite;
sucking the soul out
of music and leaving it
a hollow shell
that plays like
the noisy silence in
my ears.
I am a thief;
taking what is not mine,
the world around me,
and pouring it into
a mould that
I claim is
my own.
I am a blasphemer;
playing God in a
sacred place, changing
the world to my
liking when the orchestra
is not under my
conduction.
I am a liar;
selling false havens
to lonely runaways,
giving them a glimpse
of a world more glamorous,
more fantastic than their own,
smiling as I snatch it
from under their noses
while they thank me
for my crime.
I am a slave;
hanging in a
leeching relationship
with the language I choose,
caving to its rules
when I draw in
smears of its
blood.
I am a writer β
these are my vices.

Its great when your profession gets featured alongside parasites, thieves, blasphemers, liers and slaves. I feel truly honored.Β

Don't we all? A profession is a profession, it puts food on the table. Those kinds of things matter less.

This. Is beautiful. I love the imagery, and the fact this fits with every type of writer. Poet, storytellers, songwriter, doesn't matter.
Well done!

Yes, that it very accurate.
Everytime you take something you believe is perfect and try to form it into literature, it feeld like you soil it by your attempt to write it down.

Well, I quote Balzac: The fool and the writer are the ones who see an abyss and fall over.
I happen to be both

wow.
Would you maybe check out my writing? I really need some critics. I'm a young Dutch writer who likes to take risks, so I decided to write a book in English... Just put the first page up. Please check it out.

Thank you! I'm afraid that I have too much on my hands right now to give you helpful feedback on your work, but I had a look and it's not too bad at all

I am a musician;
I string words together
Creating a peaceful melody
That changes,
That teaches,
That inspires
As it holds my audience in deep rapture.
I'm pretty sure that I ruined the flow, but I tried my best. By the way, I loved the piece and you're free verse style!
