Writing...

Writing a story no one will ever read
because I'm too afraid of people's words that can make me bleed
It's easy for me to tell others what they've done wrong
... when I've been envious of their courage all along.
Writing is exposing your soul
to the world.
I don't think I'm quite ready
to show you my words...

A few thousand words

that can't be bought

An inspiration borne out of errant thoughts

until it comes alive on paper in writing

The process takes time

nortured with care and understanding.

You don't know how much I envy you, writers

for the thick skin you wear as a fodder.

In the meantime, I look forward to reading your work

while I garner enough courage to work on my book.

I have no title, no direction or even a plot

just words, only words held together by a loose knot

For now, I'll wait just a little longer

and pray for the day that I become bolder.
