Writers Block
My bum warms the couch I sit on,
I try to think deep, "Work brain, work! Oh, come on."
I see chaps around me, as young as I am,
Writing stories of fairies, vampires, goblins..."Damn!"
Poems that they compose are adequately horrid,
I reaffirm from google, "They must've copied".
My heart starts to break,
And my emotions shattered;
A little later I realize it had been my own skills that I should've watered.
I sit down now, determined as never before,
With a pen and a paper, my brain today I shall explore.
The fire's in my eyes, and passion wells up inside my gut,
All the jaundiced thoughts I close shut.
Today is the day, I will refashion history,
My writings will discard other works as paltry.
With one swift lift, my pen is up,
The nib touches the crisp page, and ink spreads like a syrup.
"I'm working on a masterpiece", I remind myself,
Once it gets out, there'll be no deficit of pelf.
Proud of my genius, I bring myself to write,
Like a intellect on work, my nails I bite.
The ballpen, true to it's name, starts to roll;
One word follows the other, as if they were out on a stroll.
Soon, I learn it was just my name I wrote,
so to quote.
I'd pictured the accompanied glory,
But only God can tell what the freaking story is.
"If not now, never it is"
I press on my mind in hope it lights.
I think hard, as hard as I can,
But possible it was not, away my imagination had ran.
"I have to think of something... Something...landscapes?"
I push it hard into my brain, desperately trying to come up with a line, story theme,
Anything at all.
