Once They Start...


Anger. Love. Strength. Weakness. Hate. Fear. I write for them. They take over. They use my pen to escape. Word By Word. Once they start, they do not stop. Why, why, why? They ask. How,how,how? They ask. The words then come. The words will answer. Once they start, they do not stop. The world spins. The sentences form. Some are confused. Some are perfect. It is my job to unconfuse them. Make them perfect. Order them right and you are praised. Mix them up and the world cares not. Once they start, they do not stop. Poems. Stories. Novels. Art. Once they start, they do not stop.
