Maybe I Ought To Write
Maybe I ought to write.
Just write.
I'll write until I get it right.
I'll move the words
words on the sheet
until they shine with meaning
Bang my head on my desk
bleed
I'm writing a story
I'll cry
Swear I'll never do it again
curse writing
And then I'll read what I wrote
And share it with another soul
I'll bite my nails at their response
then sigh when their head nods
Then I'll write
I'll write again
I'll just do that funny thing that makes me
suffer
anguish
cry
laugh
fly
be free
I will just write.
