When You Can'T Write
How can you write what you cannot persieve
when your mind goes blank as if in a dream
how can you write what you do not believe
when you see two sides on one warring team
you cannot think of what you do not know
nothing on paper ever seems quite right
if you cannot think the words will not flow
you need an idea to show you the light
write all that you like and not what you hate
hold on to your fears your likes and dislikes
failling to do so would a mistake
your feelings will make your work seem lifelike
you cannot write about what you don't see
you'll know in your heart what the words should be
