I Picked Up a Pen
I picked up a pen
Scratched lines and shapes
across a page
Gave life to
a character
a world
a voice
The character was like me
and not like me
The world was like mine
but not like mine
The voice was mine
You picked up a book
Lines and shapes printed
across a page
Life breathed into
a character
a world
a voice
The character was like you
and not like you
The world was like yours
and not like yours
The voice was yours
What will we pick up next?
