When words don't win it can breed feelings of failure - especially if one prides them self on the power they hold and ability to convey. If only you could have said it better, if only your palate had more colors.
Reality is often a hard surface to hit. Sometimes the right words really won't matter. I could scribble into the wee hours with Merlot at hand and the whispy breath of inspiration on the air- stain the page left and right until my hand aches. But, when the words don't win it all doesn't matter.
Perhaps another day, maybe when the wind is at my back and the leaves start to fall faster, maybe if i get a better pen or a more expensive bottle of booze. Maybe if I had, were, did - could of, would have, should of... Maybe my words will win tomorrow.
