Try to write only one true thing
From within where siren songs sing
Something to which we all can cling
Imagine what joy they might bring
Others may bow to crown you king
Real wisdom shall forever ring
Feel the passion and pluck that string
So some will write just one true thing

Ernest Hemingway spoke this quote
to help writers starting compositions:
"All you have to do is write one true
sentence. Write the truest sentence
that you know."
