Good Enough

Lead point scratching 
Pink eraser scrubbing, 
Ticking time catching 
My eyes, I'm rubbing 

Inspiration sparing
Rhyme and word fighting, 
White lines staring
Thumb and finger writing 

Yellow #2 shrinking 
Lines ever darkening, 
My eyelids blinking 
My mind harkening 

Hours ever zooming 
Crumpled paper piling, 
Good enough is looming
I find myself smiling.
