This was inspired by a song I like. It's the only poetry-type writing I've done. |
If I was a newspaper, I'd be black and white and read all over. I'd make people laugh, make them cry, or make them cheer. I'd tell the good, the bad and the facts. I could cause disunity or bring people together. I could inform people, twist the facts or change the course of things. I could give people a break from the monotone of everyday life, make them smile, change their moods altogether, either for the better or worse. I could shape people's opinions of others with just words. I could bring people down or raise them high. If I was, if I was, but I'll never be. If I was the sun, I could give light or throw the world into darkness. I can change people's skin tones and make them feel prettier. I could keep people from coming outside or coax them into the world. I'd cause people pain or hurt their eyes. I could heat the earth up or cool it off drastically. I could create rainbows, visions of beauty, or let the gray clouds take over, causing gloomy feelings. I could melt the snow and evaporate the puddles the melted snow creates. I can make people sensitive to the touch or more tolerant of burns. If I was, if I was, but I'll never be. |
