Unfinished
I leave drafts unfinished
Sometimes I don't find the words
to write the story
that's been coming to me for months
Often, I get scared
and delete the four lines that I wrote
I hated the four lines anyway
How does it matter
The idea still lives
in my head, it doesn't leave
I moved on to something else
Something that's easier, that's passive
in a hope that I will come back someday
and write without the fear of a blank page
and without deleting the beginnings
Bad days are too bad
I can only manage to finish work
and eat and sleep, sleep a lot
Good days are too good
make me happy and jumpy
takes away the motivation to write
how do I find the medium ones,
the days I can write on?
I remain restless with words
still struggling to come out
