fear is here in full force today
I stare at the pristine white blank page
She intimidates me, I know she feels my fear
I am not the enemy I say
If you crumple me up, I will bite you, she says
I remember my last paper cut.
It was not fun.
I need to start typing
But fear holds me back.
Come on! My muse says. Don’t be a pussy!
I am intimidated by her too.
She can be demanding, commanding.
And crazy? A voice whisper in my ear.
Damn fear!
She is here in full force today.
