Writing To Be Writing Poem by Sally Campbell

WRITING TO BE WRITING


I want to write so badly,
But I cannot find the inspiration to begin.
The work that once belonged to me, and is now lost,
Is holding me back
And I know this
And I do not know how to begin again.
I know what I had written was not perfect,
But I felt it was a good entry to where I was going and
I feel the pressure to accomplish something
I can be only satisfied with,
And hope for an achievement
That will excite me even more.
The emotions I experience
Concerning the writing I do
And the writing ability I possess
Or I do not possess,
Rise from the lowest rank
Of my security
Rating to the highest,
And here in lies my problem,
Although I can say with all confidence
That it is not my only problem.
Talent is an utmost consideration.
