I want to write a book,

but I’m scared I can’t do well.

I want to right a book,

but who’s story do I tell?

Do I write of love and fairytales?

Or a tragic combat where the hero fails?

My story or theirs?

This plot or that one?

As hard as I try, I can’t make it fun.

I can’t find the story that I’m meant to write,

something within me knows it’s not right.

I want to write a book

but I’m scared what it may show,

about this uncertain kid who nobody knows.
