I am my own biggest critic
second thoughts; parasitic
with eyes harshly analytic
leave my hand paralytic
my pen has become sedentary
words won’t come as necessary
what used to be so elementary
no longer comes as secondary
I read and re-read obsessively
I write and re-write aggressively
until a poem forms progressively
until a poem forms successfully
