Showing Up Regardless

I wanted to write something but didn't quite have the words. Here's a short poem about that experience.

I sit down to write

But nothing comes to mind.

And since I am not in the business

Of forcing things anymore,

I continue to sit and stare.

As these simplistic words hit the page

I remind myself:

“Writing doesn’t always have to be profound,

But it should always be honest”.

So here I am.

Showing up to the plate with nothing to say,

Hoping that you still see me.

See my attempt –

At honesty.

At earnestness.

At writing.
