Remember to write,
you are a writer
no matter what they say,
Remember to create,
you are a an artist
ignore, avoid, cleanse yourself of the inconsistent threads, whispers of
you aren’t and you can’t
Just do
today, now,
tomorrow, then
between the must do’s and should do’s
fill the space and liberate
your insides
create
for it is your fate
to be tied to your pen
in this perfect den.
