The Fear of Writing-In Collaboration with Laura Cook


The post below is written in collaboration with my friend Laura Cook and is the second collaboration post to come up this month. I hope you enjoy what we've written- we did it for you!
The Bilge Master


I am scared of what I write
Sometimes it petrifies me
The raw power of the written word
Crackles in the page like electricity
They are right when they say
That the pen is mightier than the sword
For it can bring you to tears with a jab
Or choke you with a deluge of truths
You'd rather have avoided
When I am writing late at night
And all the lights in the house are gone
I feel afraid, very afraid
That the words will turn on me
And soundlessly, I shall drown
