A reader named Leila sent this message to me, and since she wanted to get the word out, I’m reposting her words here on my blog 🙂
***
Plagiarizing
As a passionate writer
I soon become tired
When I receive messages
Of that my work was stolen
If you cannot think of your own ideas
Spend the time and dedication
Put the passion forward
Then you are not a writer
You can copy and paste
But then many authors will just erase
Their work they gave their heart to
All because of you
You think stealing harms no one
But writers get fed up in the long run
It’s not morally right to claim one’s work as your own
But they still do it anyways
*Note to plagiarizers: Don’t do it.*
