Blankness
Not an option
Empty mind
Need a line
And more time
Memoir to be written
And time's still ticking
Start
Stop
Crumple
Start
Stop
Hide
Nothing in mind
Scratch out
Scribble down
Erase
Word come
Idea goes
Not enough
Think too much
In fiction
I need to write
But the lines aren't right
Pencil up
Pencil down
Tapping eraser
With paper
Eyes wander
Mind drifts
I'm blank again
Words come
Words go
In one ear
And out the other
Out the window
On the board
Into space
Eyes wander some more
Twist
Tap
Doodle
Pencil in hand
Fingers dance
Mind in a different time
Head on desk
Had in hands
Words I want to be said
But still I dread
To put them down on paper
I need a topic
Twiddling with things
Trying to bring
My hands something to write
Clicking pen
Twiddling thumbs
Waiting for something to come
Talk to myself
Read a page
Doing anything that may inspire
Playing with bracelets
Pretending to write
Something all night
And having inspiration to come
Writing is hard
But I can still do
Paragraph or not
I will stay
And I have finished this memoir!
I wrote this for an English assignment. I couldn't think of anything to write about for my memoir so I wrote a memoir about writing a memoir. Clever right! Anyway I got a B+ on it!
