Are you frightened by the night?

I'm frightened when I don't write
when I no longer have that will
to find a quill and a quiet corner.

There are an awful lot of words
in the dictionary
and
I'm always frightened that She'll
pick on me
if I use any of them more than once

but if I had wanted it easy
I'd have been a brain surgeon.
