My Drafts Haunt My Dreams

I wonder if a dreamcatcher would help?

Please tell me
What to do?

My Drafts are haunting
my dreams every night.

Not letting me for once
see a peaceful sight.

Please tell me
What to do?

Should I sleep with a knife?
Or hug the pillow tight.

Or speed dial for help
Or post a complaint on yelp.

Please tell me
What to do?

I haven’t slept in days
I haven’t had a peaceful break.

Kill my drafts and spare me some calm.
Or lend me one of your headache-special balms.

I have 282 drafts sitting in my draft section, and they have been giving me nightmares lately. I swear each day not to participate in any prompts or challenges until I make this list disappear, but every day something new pops up, and my draft section keeps on gobbling up new story ideas.

I hope to finish writing these drafts in the next couple of months, or else I will tag someone to lend me one of their headache-special balms, which is a result of the many sleepless nights my drafts have been giving me.

Thank you for reading. :)
