Tabula Rasa

Is a blank page all that terrible?
It means you no harm.
It’s a nice clean shield
protecting your secrets.
But if you ever gave in,
to the words fighting to get out,
then, in half-an-hour,
with the page covered
in illegible handwriting
and crossed out words,
part of your soul would be laid bare.
