Writer’s Block
Give me a word to describe this empty feeling inside I want to write but I have no words Help me to explain the heartbreak I feel When my tongue can no longer express what I need it to What am I to do when there is so much to say and no way to say it? Please give me the strength to muster out some long-lost syllables Whether they be eloquent Or Raw and cutting Just as long as they help me speak my mind. Because I am so hopelessly lost So scared So helpless I’ve been stitched up Sealed. But there is so much left inside of me, I’m bursting at the seams And all there is to do is wait Wait for something Anything I suppose, Ugly or otherwise So, I’ll ask you again Give me a word to describe this empty feeling Maybe you’ll awaken a forgotten spark inside me Then I can feel like myself once again.
