Another attempt at
Birthing my
Creations comes crashing
Down.
Eye to eye with Ego,
For every
Great conception
He has
Infinite insults,
Justifying why...
Kindness escapes my ego.
Laboring over
My crappy writing is
Never going to make me
Orwell or Orson Welles.
Perhaps he's right. If I
Quit now, I can
Reinvent myself while I'm
Still young. Afterall,
Time isn't my friend,
Unless I spend it
Validating my
Woes. I've got
X-amount of potential, but when
Y equals
Zero, why even try?

Dream Log #9
This was a dream from last which I think was triggered by bumping into somebody I used to work with. She has retired from the care home I used to work with. I feel a bit too exhausted to try and make this short dream to make it over the 600 word count requirement from Vocal, so I will convert it into a poem so it will will automatically pass the filter and I feel like writing a poem because the imagery felt nostalgic and daunting at the same time.

Super & congratulations on Top Story!!!💕❤️❤️
Wow, this struck a nerve with me. I think that every writer feels this way at some point, but the thing that separates great writers from those who just tried to write is that they never give up. They keep trying and trying, and even if their crappy work gets them feeling down, they keep writing anyway, using those feelings to fuel even more writing. Time might be against us, but that's why we have to dedicate what little time we have to what we care about. Congrats on the Top Story!
You got a point..
congrats on the top story!

Last three lines will haunt me (brilliant use of math)!
This was very good. Very relatable in how we are so critical of ourselves. But you knocked it out of the park with this and I loved how you ended it - nicely done.
The X, Y and Z. Wow, you really wrapped this up nicely!
Very creative and powerful Abby Kay Mendonca. Well done!
