"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> "And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction/Pavin’ a road to nowhere/Pour your life out for nothin"- The Background by Lecrae


hand cramping

girl

sits at desk

frowns, scribbles

starts again

shifts position

erases, rewrites, 

smiles as she finds just the right phrase

wind from the open window

plays with her chestnut hair

lifting and tossing it

around

her face

irritated, she pushes it away

grinds pencil lead into blue lined paper

in

the hopes

that she will force out a masterpiece

maybe someday

when her sprawling, disheveled thoughts

roll out of bed

and

get dressed

To all the writers out there who still can't find the right words, don't give up.
