I Am the Writer

I'm the writer
that's right, I'm the writer
I'm not a person, just a pen, a device for product for a reader
you can't see me, i'm a writer, not a liver, not a breather, not a bleeder
I can never expose my flaws
I just palm off prose and mixed metaphors
life is a pending dead line on an impossible assignment
write what you want, but write it to a standard, our alignment
write to you think you'll be sustained
but the only punctuation is a bullet in your brain

you got the world on your shoulders, but you're no god
you're just the temporary amusement, a spectacle watched and then forgot
I mean nothing, not to you, you are but the reader
you don't care, you're just a hungry mouth and I am just the feeder
to everyone I'm the hero, but I'm just a coward
I can create the heroes, they can get the girl, but I'll never be empowered
for me there is only one way out, one way my tale can end
I like to make an entrance, most places already have on I smugly condescend
I hide in a vale of a fake smiles and well rehearsed showmanship
but in reality I wanna scream, and not even a whisper will escape my lips

who am I, does it matter, I'm just another voice
a two way road, but they both converge again ,so I never had a choice
choices are just illusions. I am who i am, i'm all i could ever be
and I try and I struggle to break free, but I will never be free
cause to be free, I need to escape from my head
and only the stories get that luxury, they get to be read
no one can read me, I am just the facade
the peddler selling product, just a well rehearsed bard
I am the writer
that's right, I am the writer
