she's been staring at blank pages tapping her pencil against the desk shaking her foot she's been staring at blank pages lost for inspiration. she's started to cry late at night sometimes in the day she's got a weight on her chest she overwhelmed with emotions. She's been filling up those blank pages pencil swishing back and forth paintings drawings poems stories each tear drop a new chapter every sniffle a stroke of the brush overjoyed to produce lovely work dying from the pain loathing the necessity that artists need to be miserable in some way or another to be great
