Purple Pen

I am writing with a pencil

I was going to to write with a purple pen

but it broke

I am writing in a small journal

I was going to write in a large bright red note book

Remember me for faster sign in

but it’s scares me

The expanding blank lines saturate the seemingly stagnant aperture in my brain

I use an extensive vocabulary

I would use small simple words

but I am afraid of making small points
