I should write something
I can do this well
I should write something
I can do this.
Well
I should write something
so well
that they will ask me who wrote it
and then be surprised when
they find out that I did
I should write something
I should
I should
I should
I should
I haven’t, yet
But the shoulds continue
They go on and on stuck in their vicious voice
Vicious voice! Nice alliteration.
That’s pretty clever.
I should focus
It’s like this now.
I am here with this.
I can notice.
The shoulds are here
I should notice them.
I shouldn’t should so much, should I?
There goes my mind again.
Come on back, mind.
It’s like this now.
