Breathe.
Walk:
Step one, step two...
... five, six, step seven
Pivot one
Think
Walking steps one through seven.
Repeat, repeat
Fourteen footsteps back and forth
Screeching blaring in my head
Fourteen steps for
Fourteen story thoughts
Think thoughts you know;
The thoughts you're accustomed to
For onto paper, you'll see them
Grow, mesh; merged and written together.
I have no idea what I'm even doing
The intense music yells at me
From my "Controlled Chaos" playlist
Throughout my small room, circling
I have no idea what the hell I'm doing!
The circles I spin in influence me
But I find no inspiration inside my room
What am I even doing?
Is this how you do it?
No
Is this how to write?
Nope
Will people like this?
Doubt it
Do I even like this?--
Stop!
I know exactly what I'm doing
I walk
I think
I write
I am doing this
And I will do it
Again and again
