Ghostwriter
John G. Young, M.D.
His life was a book though the sentences
He wrote were the prose of others, never his.
He filled himself full of other's quotes
Though lost in time the reference footnotes.
At times he even tried to paraphrase.
Mostly he would just copy their ways.
He wanted to write his very own tale,
Yet feared somehow that he would fail.
Do you spend your days in similar ways
Living as though you had ghostwritten them too?
