some heroine

try to illustrate the way
my heart sings onomatopoetic
like a comic book lover.
i marvel...

colours of primary
red
yellow
blue
and black so black;
pops the white
where i write
in words that come in sounds
of cacophonic proportions
stammer stutter stare stumble stuck. here.

i keep subscribing to these issues;
speed read and write the story
spill my guts
for glory

writer's block, the villain
blank holes and lead dust smudges
where the words once were
and ought to be
crumble under pressure.

stage fright is my kryptonite
tear another page.

i am some heroine.
