---A Poem by Ellie CohenIn order to write one must more or less acquire fearlessness And, as people say and rightfully so, to be able to stay alone with yourself The opposite of writing, I think, is daydreaming - It is always bonded to procrastinating What a horrid shame and honestly what a loss to have so many words and lives trapped within oneself And yet to not find the courage (is it courage) In this line of thoughts (unspeakable) writing seems to me To require the very same forces one must call before they attempt a prayer Like silencing your squirmy little human before dealing with your day With the necessary dose Of dignity © 2023 Ellie Cohen |
