God is a Writer

God is a Writer
E P Kent

When people ask me,
‘Why would you write?
Lock yourself in your room
until the day turns to night?’
The answer is something
only a writer would get
for I’m not at all in my room
but the land of my wit
Only on the paper
can I go to the moon,
rescue a princess
or spend December in June
Why would I make friends
when I can invent my own,
live with them in Atlantis
rather than stare at my phone
So the next time you’re bored,
alone, or even scared
pick up a pencil
and do what you’ve never dared
The results might surprise you
in a way unlike others
to live in your own world
instead of another’s
