'Writer's Block'

BY: RICARDO FANAKEN

I feel like I have writer's block

My whole world ended

When the pencil dropped

Rivers quenched

My soul just stopped

Words of my expression

Now I had saught

Endless quests

With unending want

My soul feels drenched

With empty thoughts

So now I'm looking for that fuel

Ideas that spark that duel

Which challenges

And sandwiches

Identities of old and new

Of once I had thought

So I roam through the streets of my mind

Hoping to see, hoping to find

Something akin

My soul is aching

No more forsaking

I sense my soul awaken

Captured and abducted

Gravity has it's hold

I won't give up

Cause I can't let go

Of these melodies

That keep haunting me

I just can't escape this chrysalis of identity

So I gotta continue

No I won't stop

As I work through this brain freeze

A brain shock

And deep cries out to deep

I unlock

I press through these fires within

And totally shatter what my past called
