Some words arrive 
too quickly, and you struggle 
to keep up, to write them down. 
Or remember; thoughts you 
can’t hold back, these thoughts 
you cannot take away.
Not all pencils need erasers.
Not all mistakes can be erased.
Still we write, and still we try
to express, to love, to believe 
and communicate.
