How to write thoughts?

How much time do you need to finish your writing? Asks my teacher 

A lifetime I say.

For how can I ever write down all the words in my head, dying to come out

All the screaming matches and all the whispers

The nagging doubts and the fears

The criticism and the encouragement.

How can I ever spill all my thoughts onto the paper? 

For my hand is starting to shake, my notebook is down to half a page, and my pen’s running dry

How can I ever scribble down all my ideas?

For no one could ever write, type, draw fast enough

How do I share all my mind with the world? 

For it feels like no one is listening

And now I’m not sure I want to write, spill, scribble or share.

  • Nice guys

    Not all nice guys are nice. Or was it a nice guy who assaulted and harassed 14, 13, and 12 year old girls? Was it a nice guy who knowingly passed on a std? Was it a nice guy who drugged a girl at a bar?

  • Our America

    People say this is not their America. I think the problem is that it is. This is what millions of Americans want. This is our America whether we like it or not. Our America elected a rapist into office.

  • Your fault

    I’m not old enough to vote

    I'm not old enough to drive

    I’m not old enough to drink

    I’m not even old enough to go to the bathroom without asking permission??
