Графомания I

Натик Борисова
      I don't see the daylight —
      I incessantly write.

         Наташа Серёгина


      See my eyes — I can hardly see...

ГРАФОМАНИЯ I

I incessantly write
Through the day, through the night
Midnight oil burning bright
Whetting my appetite

I'm so young. I could fight
Could go out, fly my kite
Could go swim in the bight
And enjoy the moonlight

But I'm paler than white
And I'm losing my sight
And my desk holds me tight
And my head sticks upright

Nothing gives me delight
And there's nothing to bite
But I grind through the night
Bit by bit, byte by byte

It's OK. Just not right!
Oh my God! Where's your might?
Save my soul from this plight
Give me wings for a flight!

But I write, write, write, write, write, write, write...
