Writer's Block


writer block

is an excuse

not to express

these thoughts

thoughts i can't 

control or slow down

the shoulda

the woulda

and the coulda

all together

form the million dollar

question to an answer

shoulda said...

i woulda...

when i coulda

now i have 

the shouldn't

the wouldn't

and the couldn't

all together

form my bittersweet

reality crushing my day dreams

only cause i can't sleep

wondering constantly

shouldn't have...

wouldn't have these...

couldn't change...

now i wish

this was still

writer block

the perfect excuse

not to express

this thought

I am an army brat. Just your (slightly abnormal) girl. I am a dancer. I love to draw. I have interest in all art but mostly japanese anime. I love to read (can complete a book a day like harry potter size). I live for writing...poetry of course. My poems are just my thoughts.
