egb, Sometimes when I get #writersblock, I think it’s bc I’m trying too hard to write a pretty poem that cheers people up & makes the world seem bright & beautiful & worth suffering through the Human Condition™.
This #poem has several lines I jotted down over the past week & then ignored bc I didn’t want to write something messy. Today I remembered it’s ok to be messy sometimes! So I just wrote what I needed to write, & I feel much better now.
