Phenomenal piece! I love reading it. Absolutely, our brains fight for the easy, not for the right. I'll incorporate that strategy into my writing. Keep up the good work!

Well, many, if not most, days for me are hard to write because of a continuous headache that's been going on for 2 years, my depression and anxiety, and that ever deepening rabbit hole of insecurities. Of course, for me there is school too which is a world of trouble on its own. I write the first draft on paper then copy it onto the laptop. The smell of wet ink can be encouraging sometimes. Mostly the ideas and thinking of poems happen at night during insomnia, then I forget it by the morning and spend the day trying to recollect my thoughts. Finally, write at night.
