Blank Page

Blank Page Written: 5-11-16 Posted: 11-5-16 "The crumple from the heartbreak, Tears from it’s muscle Coordinating the blare of the crumpled papers Searching for synonyms on a blank mind All while staring at a blank page. Staring out the window for a ray of hope Only clouds fill the sky with chains Begging God this was only a awful dream, Is this truly how the roots get pulled up? Years of time spent growing it’s seed, Yanked from my hands like a piece of paper. Trying to gather my mind around this event, Words don’t seem to flood in like I thought. I’m squishing my heart, without knowing it. Everything that once had feelings, numb to the touch Silently weeping over all the words said, Trying to call words to my conscious, All I do is stare, a blank paper lies in front of me." -Joy Reinhardt
