What am I gonna say?
Location
It’s all up to me, no parameters on what I need to say.
I blank, ‘oh shit what am I gonna say?!’
So I look at other poems,
How they engage a reader,
Empower a reader,
Inspire a reader,
Make you laugh,
Make you cry
Or just make you say ‘meh’.
I get nervous and frustrated, “what am I gonna say?!’
I’ve got no traumatic incident,
No childhood repression
Or civil rights inspired speech.
All I know it a happy life, with great parents,
Yah there was some financial strife but who doesn’t.
What am I gonna say?
It’s all up to me now
I guess I should just write away,
Or should I write like I talk
Just keep going until I get my point across,
Or should I just stop!
When I run out of things to compare.
