Hi my name is Jane and I am a write-a-holic The days that I don’t write I feel my stomach hurt kind of like colic People have said its just withdrawals from a good write But I think its more cuz I feel restless especially at night My hands are constantly shaking and grabbing every pencil in sight I know I have a problem and I have tried to cope Especially when I find myself carving letters on my bar of soap Lately it’s been hard to control it As hard as it is to admit a big part of me doesn’t want to quit I find myself writing on napkins every time I go to a fast food place And the weirdest thing is that as soon as I run out of space I write on my hands and legs that later on are hard to erase Just the other day I was sitting in class listening to the teacher When all of a sudden I had an idea for a poem on a mythical creature And yes I had a relapse And I wrote a poem I would like to share with you perhaps “On top of the mountain’s peak Stood a creature with beady eyes and a giant beak It sneered around with its long cloak And suddenly it spoke” “write only if you cannot live without writing. write only what you can alone write. (creature breathing deep) I came across a wise Abraham Lincoln man He spoke words that only a true writer would understand He stood tall and said right off the top of his head” "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." The creature stared into my eyes And I wondered if it was imagination Withering from not soaring in the skies” This is the poem I wrote in my history class To tell you the truth I’ve been doing it everywhere even in mass As a recovering write-a-holic I am proud to say I have found what to me is really symbolic and that is writing writing and more writing about anything love, hate and even stuff that’s melancholic so I just want to thank you for your help and support this group meant a lot but I am no longer into groups of this sort so if you will excuse me I have an idea to write about it will be about great writer’s who are here with that little doubt. |
