You Put a Block on My Writing
Why do I find myself thinking so hard
About the words I should put on the page?
It is as if I am writing in gold
Or burning the words onto the page,
A permanence I cannot commit to.
The words linger on the page,
Linger in my head
My brain is a filter
That I cannot find the off switch for
Perfection is impossible,
And yet, I am trying so hard to obtain it.
It has become as necessary as the oxygen in my lungs
A necessity.
I.
Need.
Your.
Approval.
