"When I Write"

Why does one put the pencil to the sheet

Loose sleep

Cry tears

In fear

That the words might not come out right

Wine when the stanzas don't align

Trash and then pace

when the story's a failed case

Maybe for fame

The game

For wealth

Good health

Whatever it may be for you

The smell of pages flipping through

The approval of others

The way a book looks in a cover

For me

It will always be

The symphony

Of a story

On my final sheet

You will see

This girl wants to write a good story
