Day 11

What can I write about that has not already been written?
This alone haunts my thoughts.
Nothing seems original
How am I to compete with what has already been done?
I watch others before me
In vain attempts to gain some insight
A secret that I might have missed
Instead I feel as if I can never
Never match up.
My own work
Seems meaningless
Pointless
When I see what has already been done.
Moved to tears
Frustrated beyond measure
Unable to move forward.

Take a step back.
Breathe.
