You wrote it, and you never sent it.
Or maybe you did. Maybe you would have.
You just didn't have the time. You didn't have the courage.
Your heart couldn't send off the truth.
you couldn't let yourself be that vulnerable
I mean, come on now, your entire heart was at risk.
You couldn't and wouldn't do that to yourself.
That letter, or those letters...
Just held way too much,
way too much...of You.

A big vocabulary is a sign of being a dictionary, not a good poet.
Though...in sixth grade, I was called Webster...
Hmm.
LoL...I think having good diction is better than a good vocabulary. Having both is even better.
-
I like having a big vocabulary, it doesn't mean you're a dictionary, it means you're knowledgeable.
-
I don't think you're supposed to start a sentence with the word "and". I don't know why, I think my teachers always told me that though.
Why does it have to start with the word "and"?
That's a little silly, don't you think?
Also, incredibly constricting. -
-
Well, I think she wants it started with and, I'm assuming, just to see where everyone goes with it.
Not to be technically grammatical or anything.
I mean, If you want to be technical and grammatical, it is wrong, because and is a link between two sentences.
But I don't know how constricting it is either... I thought it was cool.
I mean, it wasn't an inspiration word or anything, but at the same time, it gives everyone a chance to work and start off of something.

No prewritten stuff?
Oh well, maybe I'm gonna write another one...
Good luck with this contest!
