What if I couldn't write

would words be stuck in my throat, in my heart,

in my mind,

never alive,

never dieing?


What if I couldn't breathe,

would that be me without words,

would that be me

dead,

cold, white, limp

body?


What if my white pages

always stayed white pages

never scribbled with poems

and

swirls of pencil

in the corner?


What if I couldn't write?

Who would I be,

an empty soul looking for a body,

or real with

glass eyes and a hollow

heart?
