75,000 Words:

Drained dry

Pulled forth

I can’t give anymore

They’ve taken

And taken

And there’s

Nothing left

I can’t give anymore

There’s nothing

Here in

My pen

There’s nothing

I can’t give anymore

75,000 words

Such a

Horrific quest

All in

The name

Of challenge

But I can’t give anymore

Not today

At least,

And tomorrow,

Tomorrow looks

Foggy at

Best though

I can’t give anymore

I can’t

Not that

I won’t

But that

I can’t

I simply

Cannot do

This my

Words have

Been taken,

Used, abused,

And molested

And personally

I feel

As though

Someone should

Shoot me

For running

Off my

Mouth like

That, duh,

I can’t

Do this

I can’t give anymore

Not tonight

I can’t

Plan I

Can’t think

I can’t

Spell I

Can’t write

75,000 fucking

Words in

This damned

Lifetime, so

I say

Fuck it,

Dammit anyway

I can’t give anymore

But take

Care tomorrow,

For I’m

Taking 75,000

Fucking words

By storm

75,000 words

You look

So puny,

And holy

Shit I

Am scared of you.
