What do I write today?

What do I write today?

I almost decided to stop with this one question.

Should I write about my day?
Should I manifest or pray?

My worries? My dreams? My subconscious thoughts or some abstract prompt?

About a book I'm reading or the movie I have watched?

About the things that are holding me back,
or the past that is haunting,
or the future that I'm hoping for?

Or the things I should let go? Do I even know?

Or the things I should learn.

Do I have to let go to learn something new?
Or just keep adding and let the old fall away,
like dried leaves, unable to hold.

Nature taking its course.

So many options. Yet I'm stuck with one question.
What do I write today?

Do you ever visit a restaurant and scroll through the menu,
yet cannot decide?

Or go through your watchlist and still not know what to watch?
Or stare at an empty browser and wonder, where do I go?

Is it a problem of plenty?
Or not committing to something in that moment.
Is it anxiety or just distraction?

Do writers struggle with this dilemma too?
But they do write with a purpose:
a blog, a book, a line, a rhyme,
something that echoes across space and time.

Is that the problem?
Having no agenda?
Or am I simply bored?

And yet, I have written so much.

Maybe that's my answer;
you don't always need an agenda.

You can simply just write.
There is always enough.
