I watched the actors on the screen and admired the way they make characters alive
Through their emotions and words
I told myself, "I'll make characters alive too."

I wanted to be an actress,
and you knew that
You used to make fun of me
Because my dream seemed out of reach

I couldn't act the way they could
I couldn't cry or laugh when needed
I couldn't.

But the day you left,
When you shattered my soul,
I wrote my pain.

And guess what?
I wrote more,
And more,
And more.

Words remained a constant
And I'll keep writing
Maybe someday I'll stop writing about you
And finally about someone new
