It’s not that complicated
The emotion is real
Complicating it with words
Won’t get you any closer
To the original emotion

If these authors
Of thousand-page volumes
Were honest with themselves
About why they write
In the first place

God, I don’t know what they would do
Maybe they would just kill themselves
So maybe they are
Better off just writing
And maybe someone will read it

But it doesn’t matter
What matters is the writer
Did something for a while
Other than kill themselves
