I Want to Write
I want to write
I want to write
I don’t know what poetry is
I heard a recording of something I’d written today and I didn’t like it
I’m starting to think that to think about writing is to fail at writing
I thought about that line a lot
My brain devours itself in this process constantly editing
I don’t think I can do this, but I want to, which makes me think I can do this
That was too wordy
I don’t think I can do this
About this poem
I do really want to write though
