It's in the Words

West, outside my window, it's one O' three.

The night is as dark as my scalding tea.

I have realized I don't write for anyone else or the admiration,

I only write for me.

 

The inspiration was oddly impulsive,

But every word I wrote became fiercely captive

Read off the paper it resounded in angst.

Affirmation; This was not my motive.

 

Fallacy? My reasoning could be misconstrued.

I allow too many thoughts to intrude.

When I write I tend to second guess.

It's this doubt I must elude.
