Writer or Not??

Do I consider myself a writer? That's a good question. Well, it all depends on the subject. When it comes to things I know, or have alot of things to say about yes I am a writer. I can write about my views on almost any subject but as far as research papers are concerned, I am not such a good writer. Don't get me wrong, I love to write. Actually writing is one of my strong points. When I was little I used to write poetry and mini stories. It was very entertaining to see what I could come up with off the top of my head. At one point and time I wanted to write a novel about two siblings who were very close until one day a fire tragically took the life of my character Carlishas' little brother Amir. She started having dreams about him and was going through a depressing mental state afterwards. I wrote this in the 7th grade but never finished it. I also wrote a poem about a crush of mine named Trenton. It was about his eyes and the poem had alot of imagery and similes in it. My grandmother loved the poem so much that she wanted me to get it published, but I never got around to it. When I was in the 5th grade I used to get teased about my dark skin complextion and I wrote a poem called"Shades of Black". When my teacher read it, she made me read it for the black history program at my school. At first I thought it was embarrasing until I got a standing ovation when I perform it onstage. I was thrilled to see how my writing affecting these other elementary students. ;I thought that maybe my writing had given the other darker skinned kids some appreciation of their skin color. So am I a writer? You decide. Lmao!!!
