FREE WRITING

three weeks since i

set my hands to the keys
took a breath
poured the firing of my neurons onto any keyboard

it has been three weeks because i

have, instead of pouring, been shoving
everything into my head
in through the ears
behind the eyes and
up the nose
i even shoved it
down my throat
so when the time was write i could
spit it all back out

i have done the above in order to

prove myself worthy, i guess

now i am waiting for

a quantitative assessment of my worth
in two months

however

i am still not done

but

i am tired
and i want to be done

so i can

sleep for twelve hours
or lay out in the soft grass and not feel guilty
for taking time for myself.

Footnotes

this is an experiment with bullet point poetry i guess? idk brain's fried, i took three AP exams last week back to back to back and have zero energy to write anything anymore. but i felt obligated to? idk gotta keep that content flowing

I really like "write"! I thought it was intentional and it's just really nice. Don't change it!! I love it!!

this is brilliant! “but i am tired and i want to be done“ dude. yeah. i also took 3 aps back to back last week and this line is just a great summary of the ap tester experience. now i have 2 back to back this week! fun! can’t wait for that quantitative measure of my worth in two months (as you wrote it perfectly)
