Once it starts
it just don’t stop
Once it comes
it will not leave
It has you
and
you’re done for
The habit forms
the discipline
and there’s
nothing you can do
An invisible gun
pointed at the skull
pressed up
to the temple
and the voice
a whisper
a haunting chant:
write
write
write…
You dare
resist?
Are you
brave enough?
Go ahead
if you
think you can
But I think you know
what you must do
and more importantly
what has
to be done
This is good, smartly said and bang on target. I apologize for the same intent in mine, at 3:30 today, on the same subject, but said in my way. I love your version.

Not better, David, just different.
