Writers Block

I have so much anger I can’t even write- It’s been eating at me,

Day and night.

I can’t get it out- I can’t find the words,

It never makes sense- The words are a blur.

I know what I want to say- But I don’t know how to say it,

It’s like I’m surrounded by a wall of bricks- And I’m the one who laid it.

I can’t think straight now- My words won’t come together,

The only thought I have is to make my mind better.

It’s a writers worst fear- An internal nightmare,

The words won’t appear- And the thoughts are not there.

You sit and you think- And get absolutely nothing,

You think and you try- To formulate something.

It’s the stage fright of writing- Holding a pen and nothing comes out,

And if it does it’s garbage- This is what it’s all about.

Over coming adversity- Even through this you won’t stop,

Everyday you’re at it again- Trying to out smart this writers block.
