Make It Count

The world shrinks as

The population grows.

The world is not wrong

Only that people are careless and impatient.

 

When it comes to me,

I am different.

I am patient and low matinence.

I rarely ask for things.

Since all I need is writing.

A simple pen and paper.

 

If the world to end today,

I would die with a pen in my hand.

A notebook full of me on the table.

 

The world would then know who I am

As their eyes skim the words

I have penned on paper.

 

I didn't write this just to write.

I wrote it to get a message out.

Anything you write could be your last.

So you have to make every writing,

Every poem,

Every story,

Count.

Beautiful. Though I have to add, I believe it should be for everything you do in life, not just writing. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability...you never know if it's the last thing you do. Nicely written and a beautiful message :)

I loved it. Very good.
I love the lines "A notebook full of me on the table" and "The world would know who i am as their eyes skimed the words i have penned on paper."
Really good.

This is so very good. I loved this line:
"A notebook full of me on the table."
What an elegantly-stated reminder that these words we love to roll around are us. And that we need to make them count. Awesome write!
