"Things don't get done unless somebody does them."


It's been a while
Since I've sat down for this long
Just to write
All the words I can write

They call it a stream of consciousness
But I call it a stream of truth
It's a stream to remember
As it glosses over your skin

Maybe this truth
Will stick around
A bit longer than the sunlight
A bit longer than the nightlight

I don't want my writing to go away
I don't want my writing to be forgotten
I want my writing to stay
I want it to be remembered

A writer only ever wants to stay
That is the mark of a great writer
It's not that hard, to write for a long time
It's pretty hard, for that long time of work to stick around

But don't worry
It's just a stream of consciousness
It's not a hard thing to do
So we will just keep typing and praying for hamlet
To come rolling off our fingers


The author's comments:

I always thought that the stream of conscious creates some of the most true statements someone will ever write, but it's always so easy to disregard a stream of consciousness and toss it to the way side along with other piece of forgotten poetry. Maybe this will help you write your next piece, and maybe it will inspire your stream of confidence to be remembered for centuries to come.
