I can't write...
Can I?
I grip my pen, deep furrowed ridges etching my palm,
And suddenly my paper is screaming.
The world outside me dims, flows away,
My page is red blood glowing,
The words,
Like angry little men,
Stab out of the surface I stabbed them into.
Left hook, right hook,
My pen doesn't pull punches, it STABS forward, point quivering.
The words jostle for attention,
So many new friends.
I hunch closer,
Pen fisted hand at the ready,
Up and down and loop the loop.
I urge the pen on,
And fragile paper gives in.
The letter quivers, remaining firmly scratched on the wood beneath.
Better the table than sliced into my skin.
