I write
I read
I see what needs to be done
I keep writing until I cease
Until I therefore cannot read nor see

I try to write
To try to read
But nothing seems to be perceived
I try again
Try not to subceed
But nothing seems to physically employ

And so I pause
I take a walk
Watch a flick
Or eat a treat to see if something will rework

I start again
Retrace my steps
Like learning how to walk again
I start with trying to recall my ABCs
But I never seem to get to OPQ

I stop to start
Only having to restart at the beginning
And not where I left off
I keep trying to remember which way the curve of the letter Y goes
But it doesn't seem to want to shape

I try to remember the color
The color of the pen I was using but it doesn't seem to toril
Did it have a color in the first place or was it not working at all

I flip a page
Change the writing deceive I had
And proceed to trying to calculate the sum of terms
But the sum of terms only seem to depreciate
Although it shouldn't though it can't

I flip to the first page of my book
And see it blank
Long-lasting
Longevity
How do I start if I haven't even began.
