A writer's common sickness

White paper note
blank.
Like a long white coat
No ideas. No hopes, no dreams,
You get the point,
I don't have to stretch it to the extremes,
The way it goes,
It twists your mind
like you lost all your ideas,
on a stupid billboard sign.

Your mind goes blank,
Your vision becomes as stiff as a plank,
Black swirls up the whole white paper,
and just like that,
you disapear like a vapor,

into a world where simplicity rules,
No original ideas, just blank word pools,
Then as the white paper begins to swallow you up,
Small ideas and intentions swell right back,
Your mind started clearing out,
Now it's not black.
And your whole writing sickness is torn away,
and stored inside a sack.

Now you might think it's the plague,
Or some kind of desease that is pretty vague,
but before I let you panic, or let you pout,
I'm no doctor,
but I'm sure you had a simple case of writing black out!

It's important that we all know to aim high. But some people aim for the impossible, and fall down.

Empty Screen, Full Keyboard

An empty screen, A full keyboard. An thoughtless mind, No poems stored. Rhymes go by, You watch them flow. Poems of magic, Yet none to go. A full keyboard, An empty screen.

Hmm...

Opuss seems so...empty, My feed is just the same, It would be nice to see, A different style or a name.

Nothing...

I have not a word to write The paper's never seemed so white My pen is weeping opaque tears I'm overwhelmed with creeping fears It appears my words have abandoned me In a tacit, calm, cacophony...

Exit Stage Write

I try to write, Nothing comes out. Perhaps it's mental drought. I'm out. Or a bad reaction to all the hate. So tired, getting late. Not a broken heart or tortured soul as of late.

Dried Up

Inspiration can come in several ways. Sometimes there's nothing for 3 or 4 days. No words or poems, no lyrics or rhymes. Though I look at my notepads hundreds of times.

Writers Un-block

Is it a crime to not have the time to rhyme. To not have the capacity for tenacity. The fortitude for a bit of attitude.
