From sleep,
I am awoken
by words untold
aching to be let out
so I turn on the light
get my pen
and begin to write
till the sky is clear
and morning light trickles in
as these words
want to be told
and wouldn’t have it
any other way
From conversations,
I am distracted
by stories untold
wishing to be drafted
so I bring out my phone
and begin to type
as these stories
want to be told
and will like me
to tell them
Mariam Shittu
I hope every writer feels this way. I also get ideas from shows, books, the sun, everything and anything….
