I have a long page on the notes app dedicated to my Incomplete poems
And Google Docs full of recent Incomplete stories
Old notebooks filled with Incomplete songs
And yet older stories from my childhood
My sketchbooks have seen many Incomplete drawings
And my mind many Incomplete thoughts
Inventions and ideas who will never see the light of day
And is okay not to finish everything you start
But I cant help but wonder how my life would be
If I didn't want things perfect
And barely ever finish
If I don't finish when I start it
And what would have happened if I finished that book
That was intended as a novel
And the plot was good,
Even though I was just 10
Just like the song that I wrote when I was eight
Or the invention when I was 11
All the things that I started
That could of been much more
If I wasn't scared of failure
And wasting all my time
On little projects that wouldn't change my life
But maybe it would have
I guess I'll never know
Because fear of Incompletion
Over weighed all of my hope
So I'm working on starting things
I know that I can finish
And knowing that what I do
Does not have to be perfect
Even in this poem I am scared I will not finish
And I know that this won't change my life
But that's not the only factor
Because I enjoyed Completing it
And sometimes that's what matters
