I write
I read
I see what needs to be done
I keep writing until I cease
Until I therefore cannot read nor seeI 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 employAnd so I pause
I take a walk
Watch a flick
Or eat a treat to see if something will reworkI 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 OPQI 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 shapeI 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 allI 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'tI 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.
