outline your story or go with the flow?

Drawn by me :)

Where is the map?

Writing is a confusing terrain.

What do I say?

Will someone please explain?

We will help you, they say.

Words are simply checklists,

wire strings to puppet twists.

Well, actually, welcome the flow;

wing it, enjoy it, something will grow!

Wishful thinking is the path of destruction.

Wise up and utilize construction.

Words predetermined will multiply dread.

Woe to those without spontaneity in their head.

Without structure, you will get nowhere.

Without freedom, your joy will wear.

Which is the right?

Which is the wrong?

Was it both of them all along?

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed.
