A writer: What it is to be human

To be creative is to be a human being

Or else we're just machines

A virus on the Earth just spinning

To break from the motions

Enrich the darkness with our emotions

To explain the happiness in a dying mans heart

And express the stark message in a comical farce

How tragic it would be for not sharing

To go to your grave, the world not knowing

Not caring

To be a writer is to be a human being

To break from the motions and enjoy the gift of living

How true Scott, I like the line:
"To break from the motions Enrich the darkness with our emotions" Not sure if I like the word "perks" though in the last line, maybe it could be something like "enjoy the truth of living"? I just think perks is a bit weak and the line needs a strong word here. Otherwise - great.

I've made a few changes, you were right bout the word perks, not the most gripping use of words. I've also add a little extra but wonder if it drags the piece on a bit long

Thanks poems
