Info


As a writer, the starting part is the scariest.

The moment when you wield your pen

with your fingers. Too eager to defile---

a blank virgin canvass.

Too eager to make a difference and yet,

The responsibility scares me.


The myriad combination of lines,

The mixture of letters,

The weaving of words,

And the colouring of it with a tad of intellect...

The creativity scares me.


The unreachable zenith of thoughts,

and how to display it

Should I keep some of the birds in their cages?

Or should I chop all their heads off?

The freedom scares me.


My mind birthing questions:

Will it turn out great?

Will my ego be satisfied after it was streaked?

Or, will I crumple its ideas to death?

These questions scare me.


All of these thoughts …

My mind flashes upon the millisecond

my fingers aim the ink-filled pen.

And, I haven’t written anything yet.
