Writers

when you’re a writer

the kind with hundreds and thousands

and millions of followers (not me obviously),

when everything you put out

will be read and re-read

when you’re not only writing

for yourself but for the living and the dead

please try to be mindful of what you said

because people will believe your stories

they will follow your steps, your guidance

to climb out of the shallow water

to hold onto the edge of a cliff

when all their fingers are swollen and numb

to reach out their hands to you

waiting for one day to be found.

So please, please try to write from the heart

not for the number of talk shows

you’ll make with each quote.

t.l.

a reminder to myself

to always be true and fair

    This is beautiful. Words are powerful and can give so much strength or pain depending on how you use them.
