Write
My second entry to the Tattoo That Line Challenge. I think there are a couple of lines that compete for Tattoohood, here, but IMO the best one for inkage is the last. It's brief, and it's true, and for people like *us* we can feel this in our bones. It's been a while since I've done a Wanky Poem. Here you go!
Write Write when the words are heavy Write for yourself Write with a sharp pen; lance the mind-boil Write boldly, with glorious abandon Write with a cheeky grin, a wink, a twinkle Write because you must Write when it's exciting; and also when it's boring Write to get paid Write because you love it and especially when you don't
Write when the muse sings, and the words are like candy floss, spinning light and easy and sweet
Write when the words ooze slow like sludge Write to escape Write when it's uncomfortable or dull Write to learn about the world and also about yourself Write because it's fun, because it's funny
Write because it makes you cry, makes you think, makes you laugh
Write to get better at writing
Write to be alive and human and know it Write the pain from the bones of your soul Write absolute shit
Write to fill the empty page
Write to silence the voice that says you can't
Write when it hurts
Write to take up space Write because someone told you you're good at it Write because someone told you you're bad at it
Write because it's Wednesday
Write when the inkwell is brimming and bubbling, but especially when it's dry
Write at your desk, on the bus, in the bath
Write to create, to express, to play
Write on a napkin, on your break, on the back of a receipt
Write because you can
Write to show the world who you are; your little I WOZ ERE on the wall of the universe
Write to tell, to yell, to scream
Write to soothe
Write for the joy and agony of it
Write a whisper into the void for the twin soul that might not be out there Darling, just write. +
