Reaching for a number two pencil
Debating the question
Where to dare to start?
Consulting a fatigued heart
Contemplating a non-typical fascination
Erasing a messy confession
Pencil abandoned
Pen befriended
Write it like you mean it
Somebody said that
Sighing mid-sentence
Feeling mildly stifled
Ready to shred it
Deciding against it
It can be corrected
Make it great later
Take a nap and come back
Let a dream unjumble it
Invent a deadline
To ensure its completion
Before midnight
Right?
Write
