Scratch it out and try again.
I don't deserve this stupid pen.
I've written these words over 15 times.
There's that voice inside my head,
"You won't amount to anything!"
I've gotten to know that sentiment so well.
It's okay.
I'm not freaking out. "You're freaking out!"
Don't think, just write shit down.
This incoherent mess.
I spill my guts as I digress
between my tangents and I guess
I've lost my mind. "You won't amount to anything!"
Try to get a thought-"NO!"
I don't think so.
Watch my inner critic grow.
Scratch it out and try again.
I want to break this fucking pen.
I hear that voice inside my head.
I won't amount to anything.
I've written these words over 25 times.
It's okay.
I'm not freaking out. "You're freaking out!"
Don't think, just write shit
I'm not okay.
I think I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out.
Don't think, just write shit down.
