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
