Analysis of I Want to Write



I want to write

I want to write

I don’t know what poetry is

I heard a recording of something I’d written today and I didn’t like it

I’m starting to think that to think about writing is to fail at writing

I thought about that line a lot
My brain devours itself in this process constantly editing

I don’t think I can do this, but I want to, which makes me think I can do this

That was too wordy

I don’t think I can do this
