Writer Version
The doubtful writer writes with his ink stained fingers
With his pen, he scrapes the surface of his paper
He tries to eject all the feelings that lingered
But where there was once a stream of words that would pour,
There lays the empty page ready to be explored
But nothing, nothing would come out of his old pen
And for many hours, the paper still remained clean
He still tries to write but no ink would ever flow
Not until all of his screeching demons would go

Writing is 60% self-doubts, 25% anxiety, 10% procrastination and 5% actual writing.

Artist version
The doubtful artist paints with his paint stained fingers
With his brush, he scrapes the surface of his paper
He tries to eject all his feelings that linger
But where there was once a stream of hues that would pour,
There lays the empty page ready to be explored
But nothing, nothing would come out of his old brush
And for many hours, the paper still remained fresh
He tries to paint but no color would ever flow
Not until all of his screeching demons would go
