"writers write, so they can taste life twice"


I set out to do twenty,
I only do ten;
I set out to run the full course,
I only run half;
I set out with a heart full of adventure,
But I stop at the first obstacle;
I have more than ten forts in my yard,
Not one is finished;
I tried a diet,
Sorry, chocolate called my name;
I put up a Christmas tree,
I only bought lights;
I tried writing a novel,
There was no ending;
I attempted reading a book,
I lost it the next day;
I played a game,
But I got tired and started walking;
In everything I did, finishing was always a problem
Just like I didn’t finish this

\&quot;Remember as a child when you\&#039;d try to express yourself by drawing a picture, but your clumsy motor skills just couldn\&#039;t do it, so you crinkled up the picture? So now that you\&#039;re older, where are your pictures, or are you still stuck in that child\&#039;s mind of crackling up your ideas? Express your thoughts, no matter how silly you may think they are!\&quot;
