If you’ve ever poised a pencil over paper for long hours
You might just be a writer
If you know that recording stories isn’t a frolic in the flowers
You might just be a writer
If you’ve written down a battle and felt you’re in the fight
You might just be a writer
If you’ve struggled with a paragraph far into the night
You might just be a writer
If you’ve ever felt that what you write will never be its best
You might just be a writer
If you feel you could writer forever and never take a rest
You might just be a writer
If you’ve labored long on something dear, just to throw it out
You might just be a writer
If you cast yourself into your characters and feel their pain and doubt
You might just be a writer
If you love describing people, places, feelings, sound, and taste
You might just be a writer
If you think that shopping when you could be writing is a waste
You might just be a writer
If you’d rather write than go to a big party with your friend
You might just be a writer
If you’re rarely seen without a book, paper, and pen
You might just be a writer
If you love to read and delight in words
You might just be a writer
If it bugs you the this stanza doesn’t rhyme (even though the others did)
You might just be a writer
But if you’ve never written except for school or read a nice, thick tome
Well…
If you didn’t identify with a word of this poem…
You’re probably not a writer.

Methinks I am a writer....although I didn't relate to ALL of it. Maybe I'm only half a writer. :P

Couldn't have stated this poem any better! I rather write then go shopping or a party, yep. I am always seen with a pen and notebook, yes. And I have stayed up long into the night thinking about how to write one of those things thatnevercooperate with me! And yes, I identified every word in this poem so I guess that means...I just might be a Writer!!
