what to write
erica hutchinson 1989 (sc)
what to write
should i write about love or hate
or an opportunity missed because we acted too late
should i write about the sunshine or the rain
or that the strongest emotion we feel is pain
should i write about truth or lies
or how all my dreams seem to end in the sky
should i write about the beach or the tide
or is there something I'm just trying to hide
as i lie in bed tonight
i ask the question
what to write.
