Ideas swirl in my mind Forming windstorms That pick up scattered thoughts and words and grow into tornadoes that whirl across my mind.
They distract from life From what's real and what matters.
But when I sit down to write They all flee in terror And my pen hovers above the page filled only with scribbled out phrases and my own insecurities.
I always have these stories and ideas in my mind, but when I go to write them down, the words to do so evade me and it comes out as sloppy, half-formed, and not anywhere near as good as they were in my head.
