Write until your
hand cramps
so you can no longer
hold the pen
Write until the ink runs dry
and you have no more refills
Write if you have to beg paper
maybe then to beg
a little bit more
Write until you get it all down
Then revise re-write re-edit
to get it all done again
Write until you hear
the words you wrote
spoken by someone
who maybe might care
Write by day by night
By shadows and
by candlelight
Never give up
on the will
and the way
Never give up
Your right...
to Write
