A Blank Stare

A Blank Stare


I’m sitting on this comfy chair with a pale like blank stare
Knowing many an excellent word but they just won’t come out
My mind is full of knowledge but still it rages on with a dare.

In my brain there-in these thoughts still do invade
Unintelligible thoughts my friends just stare at me
I give no uninvited thought to which I will share with thee.

My friends really wants to stay and thus help me
But still I’m filled with hesitant heartfelt doubt
The only person whom can help is just within me.

I’m all by myself I have to let the thoughts bring out
I’ll then write a little note of contemporary words
For all my friends so they can dearly read and see.

That I have never initially brought forth and left them
Harken! My words are just stubborn as stubborn like me
Here to my pen and paper will write just from within me.
