Keep Writing!

I am trying to keep writing.
Striving to keep my pen to the page.
I am pushing to make writing more important than the pain
as vital a strategy to keep my car from being repossessed

Writing means something to me
I want to write what I want to write
I am procrastinating while I am creating.
I am reaching for a breakthrough I am not sure exists.
I'm thinking too much

There is so much I needed to accomplish today
I didn't get much of any of it done
not because I was so busy or hanging out with anyone
between the pain and the pressure and the hope and the fear
I did what I could to stay grounded

Sorry everyone expecting so much more
I had too little to give and what I mustered up
I gave it to making a meal, moving a couch, taking a bath
and to just keep writing.

So, file your complaints at the door of midnight
cause I'm going to bed.
