The Writer’s Dilemma

Ruby Green 1993



I have an essay to write But I don’t know what to say I stare at the blank screen And hope for inspiration


I have a deadline to meet But I don’t have any time I juggle other tasks And struggle with motivation


I have a topic to choose But I don’t have any interest I browse through the options And settle for the easiest


I have a thesis to make But I don’t have any argument I search for some sources And copy the most relevant


I have a structure to follow But I don’t have any logic I write some paragraphs And connect them with transitions


I have a conclusion to draw But I don’t have any insight I summarize what I wrote And end with a cliché


I have an essay to write But I don’t know how to write it I wish someone could help me And write essay for me.
