What it's like to be a writer

i sometimes hate blank paper.  it feels like it's screams at me. It calls to me. Telling me i must say what my heart holds. But will the paper understand? Can it hold the heaviness of her words?  Maybe but how long will it hold? a minute, maybe ten.  Perhaps a life time? Now she wonders will the ink just run off the page?   She just hopes the paper holds her truth.
