Do you see me in the headlights?
A frightened deer in the night time sorrow,
Push down on the accelerator honey,
I'll be gone by this time tomorrow,
My heart beats in the trees
And my voice is in the soil,
My fear is in the air
As my blood begins to boil,
I'm a natural born disaster,
So don't wait until the morning after,
Strike me down.
Down.
  Down.
    Down.
Leave my body on the road
And soak my skin with red lights,
Disappear into the dark,
A hit and run at midnight,
My baby left me high and dry,
I'm lost without a compass,
Death is far beneath my closest friend,
His soul is too close for comfort.

I have unravelled,
Leave me be and shut the door,
I'm done with this place.

A good friend told me he didn't know what to write. He wanted to, but he didn't have the motive or inspiration to carry it through.
This one is for you.

When you write, don't act on the impulse purely because you want to,
You have to feel what you write,
Right down to every last gruelling piece of punctuation.
And I don't mean write as soon as you feel a connection,
You have to truly believe in what you write,
Like every single molecule in your body is screaming
At you,
Telling you to be beautiful in the words you choose.
Harness your emotions,
If you feel euphoric and happy,
Capture it,
If you are feeling angry or there is sadness inside of you,
Purge it, let it flow and then read it back and you'll see how much
You have released in a short space of time.
Don't be afraid of what you write,
Be bold,
Be fearless,
Don't be scared of what people might think
If you let them see it,
Don't shy away from any details that you might want to include,
Nobody judges a writer.
Add what you want,
It is your recipe for creativity and you are in control of the final product.

Write what you feel and feel what you write.
