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.
