Plain Wall

As I sit here
Staring at
My plain wall
No pictures, desks, or tables near this
Plain wall
I think
It almost seems like I come up with my greatest ideas
Staring at
This plain wall
Over time I have grown quite fond of this wall
I have made many stories by looking at this
Plain wall
My stories are known across the globe
And I am a great author,
My greatest companion,
My plain wall
