They say the first line is always the hardest.
She can't finish the first word.
they say its hard to become like her,
She doesn't have a title.
They say she's the best writer
In town.
Her mind is blank like the paper in
Front of her.
They all can't Wait, with a capital W,
For her new release, sure that it will "win all the prizes"
The writer who can't write.

It's a sad thought isn't it?
She knows what they want.
She almost feels safe:
Knowing what they expect,
She is getting excited to see their surprised faces when she says

I'm done
