The Anxious Writer

Getting off to bed each day
With an unrefreshened mind.
Worried and brooding fear, hey!
It's been my norm, nevermind.

I would have grabbed a pen and sit with a coffee.
'Cause I used to write endlessly;
And yet I sit there goofy.
So then I overthink, crazily!

I would have written a novel;
If I have stroked this pen nonstop.
But I've been a ne'er-do-well;
So I only have a mindful crap.

I would have made a volume;
Made many of fantasized men.
But since I turned lazy-in-gloom;
I have made plenty of problem.

Oh, yea! It's hell.
It's unmoving, I need a stir.
And yes, I'm sad and repelled,
And an anxious, far from a writer.
