Writer
Translated with AI
When I was a child, an old man once asked me,
"Son, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
I said, "A writer."
He smiled and asked, "And what exactly is a writer?"
Back then, I didn’t have an answer. But the question stayed with me.
What is a writer?
Someone who makes you laugh, even if just for a moment?
Or someone who reminds you how much pain life holds?
Someone who makes you feel love, even if it doesn’t exist?
Or someone who makes you fear losing the love you do have?
Someone who spins made-up stories just to pull you away from the truth?
Or someone who writes honest words to wipe away lies?
Maybe a writer is just a puppet of dead desires, trying to bring buried questions of the heart into the light.
Seeing me go silent, the old man laughed and said,
“Say something, will you? Or already acting like a writer?”
