Oh, I have this inescapable preoccupation,
since a child wrapped in pleasing delusions and intense words;
I am haunted- possessed with a single-minded fixation,
writing in solitude while listening to morning birds.
Since a child wrapped in pleasing delusions and intense words,
tormented and restless and sometimes a bit excessive;
writing in solitude while listening to morning birds,
penning even into the night- my need to write obsessive.
Tormented and restless and sometimes a bit excessive,
fanatical- I get immersed and submerged in my thoughts;
penning even into the night- my need to write obsessive,
this addictive mania has my heart and soul in knots.
Fanatical- I get immersed and submerged in my thoughts,
my need a bewitchment and a beautiful melancholy;
this addictive mania has my heart and soul in knots,
It is for the story- this depth of deep frantic folly.
My need a bewitchment and a beautiful melancholy,
I am haunted- possessed with a single-minded fixation;
It is for the story, this depth of deep frantic folly,
Oh, I have this inescapable preoccupation.
