Writing Struggles

I want to write

My soul years to make my mark upon an empty page; ANY page

My mind is full of dreams and realities too fantastic to exist

I cry out, silently, "let me release these images onto something permanent"

Something real

And yet

When I look at this paper all of my fantasies escape me

All I can think of is the same old story told a hundred times over

Nothing new

My impact on the world left unsaid

And the fear in my heart that tells me

"You'll never be as good as those who came before"

"You're not motivated"

"You're not creative"

"You're not ready"

Compels me to give up

And the page remains

Empty
