"The typewriter tap dances
Right in the centre stage
Where the protagonist meets
Their fate."
The writer pauses
In between spaces,
Pages to be changed
Ink to be replaced
Often wondering about
The One Greatest Writer of them all.
The One whose commas continue life
And periods end chapters good and bad.
Tragedy, comedy, romance and drama
Sometimes thrillers and dark desire
They can write any genre without a care.
Are we all protagonists in life?
Most aren't in books.
Some are just side characters existing.
Driving others' stories.
What if the writer is one of them?
Never a protagonist in her own life?
Could something be more nightmarish
Than that?
