To write an epic

I want to write an epic, a story read about for years
Get people cheering characters, get them crying tears
I want people to be waiting for the next thing I write
I want them reading my works straight through the night

I want to write jokes, to make the listeners laugh
Have the perfect minute of material to tear them in half
I want nothing more than to write something to enjoy
And I want it liked by everyone, every girl and boy

I want to write short stories, the type you read online
I want it liked and commented and shared a thousand times
To make people's moment, with nothing but imagination
To give the endless scroll a second of hesitation

I want to write comics, bring brightness to a page
Write in newspapers, expose injustice, bring rage
Be an indie author, be the guy you just have to know
Write on walls so you see my work everywhere you go

I want to write many things, to reach people's hearts
The world of willing writers is made up of a thousand parts
But for now, if I can make it worth one person's while,
To read something I have written? That will always make me smile.
