Words are funny things, you know


Words are funny things, you know. 

I fight against empty white pages and a blinking black cursor as they taunt me, telling me that the words I have aren’t enough, aren’t sufficient, aren’t good. Blank spaces and lonely pages, waiting for my words to tell a story, to paint a picture full of colors with just the black and white dancing in front of my eyes, to bring something where there was nothing. 

I battle the emptiness with words, the silence with sound, the fear with hope. All this power in simple strokes.  

Because words are funny things, you know?
