The Writer (freeverse poem)


I'm thinking about submitting this to an on-campus literary magazine, so comments would be helpful.  Does it make sense?  Is it boring?  Does it flow?  What else?
I actually intended on posting this on my wordpress blog... but I can't remember my password and I can't get it back. :P
Thanks, enjoy!



The Writer

Who am I?

An artist?
A philosopher?

I am no creator,

Nor brilliant speaker.

Who am I to take credit 

For these words which flow from my pen?

I don’t make stories.

Stories use me.
They fly around in the air
Looking for a voice...
Until they find me.

I am a filter.

I sort out the chaos.
I am a channel,
A frequency,
A tool.

I am, myself, a pen.

A hand.

A writer.
