    The document contains three draft poems by Bradley Sheen about struggling with writer's block and a fear of sharing his writing. The poems use metaphorical language of bleeding and risk-taking to describe forcing himself to write despite a lack of inspiration or confidence in his abilities. Strange word choices, line breaks, and syntax are meant to convey the speaker's inability to write poetry skillfully. An addendum provides context that the poems were written after regretting not having a draft prepared for a class and are an attempt to "bleed on paper" through writing about the writing process.

    Draft 3 Bradley Sheen

    Untitled Tell me to take risks Spill my uncouth imaginations, my devious exploits. To goad myself And bleed. But I have hemophobia So I force myself to drip these words. Cacophony on paper. combinations of letters that look good as words all so nonsensical. Words I dont acknowledge but are subtly profound

    Addendum: I wrote this poem after regretting not creating a draft in class. Although the poem may come off as quite clich, writing about how I cant think of anything to write and my inability at writing, this is my attempt at bleeding on paper. I knew I would either come off as naive and foolish, or as a (hopefully) profound poet. I use the awkward placement and choice of words such as cacophony and acknowledge in order to accentuate my inability at writing poetry. I also use caesura and strange line breaks to also demonstrate this point.

    Draft 2 Bradley Sheen


    Untitled Tell me to take risks Spill my uncouth imaginations, my devious exploits. To goad myself And bleed. But I have hemophobia So I force myself to drip these words. Cacophony on paper. Nonsensical words Words I dont acknowledge Words no one cares about, Such pathetic words.

    Draft 1 Bradley Sheen


    The Block Tell me to take risks To prick myself with this Figurative instrument and bleed. I bleed, but the blood too is figurative It doesnt exist. I dont want to share I cant share. I merely force myself as I pour these words on paper. Nonsencial words, Words no one cares about. Pathetic words that I shouldnt even acknowledge.
