More Words That Make My Fingers Hurt

I pick it up, I put it down,
I start to write, but never end,
it's never enough, the words are tough,
I break when I should bend.

Perhaps my will is weak,
perhaps I don't know how to fight,
perhaps I only battle,
when the wrong feels so right.

My enemy is endless thought,
like a sub conscience need to feed,
up goes the pen, down go more words,
until my fingers cramp and bleed.
