Write?
Cruel
torture!
Undoubted
pure innovation
at inception, those insane few
who endeavor to tame and cage the cruel beastly words
of their creative brains onto some docile page, find themselves facing a fearsome foe

that fights and rages against being forced into any semblance of reason and beauty,
leaving the writer's mind spent-utterly exhausted,
their raw souls aching and gaping,
seeking sanity,
and wielding
war-wounds
which
bleed.
