A Blank Piece of Paper

By Dreamscape


This blank piece of paper will soon be decorated with my thoughts
I don't know what I should talk about
Should I talk about my father who left this universe without me giving him a hug
Should I talk about that I believe that a thought serves more of a purpose when it is used for new ideas, rather than old regrets
Should I talk about that rare friend who saved me from drowning beneath the ice by melting it with his heart
Should I talk about that girl who sneaks into my mind at night just to make sure I don't fall apart
Autumn leaves await me
Soft words can make things hard
I'm happy that I've met you
And I'm sorry that I'm scarred

    I rather liked this 'insight' into the creative process, and definitely enjoyed the wrap up in the last 4 lines. Well done!

    A lovely illustration of the writing process. I often list things to write about, close the page, and come back later to see which one my mind subconsciously stewed over the most. My favorite line was "soft words make things hard"--sugar coating does indeed serve to further the pain. Very much enjoyed, thank you for sharing.
