The Writer

I'm in the background,
the silent witness.
I'm the one
that everyone sees
but no one remembers.
I watch your every move,
as if they were my own.
I curse your shortcomings,
and praise your accomplishments.
I point you to a destination,
and you willingly go.
I'm in your dreams,
I'm in your consciousness.
I'm madness, I'm goodness,
the protagonist, the insane.
My pen points the way,
my ink tells the story...
I am the writer,
let me show you
my imagination...
