Blank Page

There is nothing worse than this
Staring at you quiet and impassive
What is it that I do miss?
Why is this page so aggressive?

Glaring white blinds the eyes
Like snow fields after a storm
Daring to me words to devise
But the words refuse to form

Why can’t I now express without
The raging storm that’s locked within
Why can’t my words scream and shout
Why won’t my head cease to spin?

The emptiness there mocks me still
My mind is even more daunted
This blank page I will never fill
And my mind be ever haunted

What must I do to free my mind?
This to destroy this cage and lock
Where will the inspiration I find
To solve this terrible writers block
