What About Me?

For Poppy's Prompts No. 13 - Greek Mythology Edition (Calliope): Entry No. 2

By Kendall Defoe Published about a year ago • 1 min read
So many responsibilites; so little time...

Am I the only one who gets it?

Am I the only one you can adore?

Open your mind and shut the door...

That's how I work. Now sit

And stare at the screen, the wall,

Or even that naked blank page

(that's your only real stage).

It can take your thoughts, big or small.

But don't look for me there.

This is all on you. With my crown and tablet,

I have other things on my mind (bet!).

For you and your blocks and stress, I don't care.

You always know what to say.

You just need me to guide the way.

The Ladies We Love
