Sharp pencil.

Blank paper.

No eraser.

Find another pencil, my mind says.

Don't get a new piece of paper.

No, find an eraser, it says.

No mistakes allowed.

I haven't even tried to write on the paper yet.

I don't want to make a mistake,

never be able to fix it,

then have to start on a new paper.

I can't find an eraser though.

No mistakes allowed.
