My brain is like a blender, 
Fragments of ideas
Frustrated fragments whipping around
Fighting for a place of their own 
And tossed to the next side of the cup before they even have a chance to...
Wizzzzz 

Onto the next thing 
It's all so important
Focus Lauren, write a poem
Oh wait, you already did.

Your own worst critic
If it's not perfect it's not good 
If it's not great then what are you?
You're the sum of all you produce 
Backspace
Then backspace again.

Erase any evidence of you producing anything less than brilliant
Your hear races with the thirll of putting words onto a page 
Why is it all so hard?
Because self-expression is brave.
