Confused Mind

Words cannot describe whats in my mind
 I try to grab and catch it but nothing stays behind
 I open my mouth but nothing comes out
 Not even a single thought to say out loud
 Wish things were as simple as reading a book
 Knowing exactly for what to look
 But my mind is black as the night
 Just close my eyes and give up the fight

Hi May Sara! Love this short, somewhat sad, poem in rhyme. Sometimes it's best to give up the fight and let inspiration come at its own pace, when she feels like it. Trying too hard will hinder, not help. Take it easy...words will come on their own, when you least expect them:) All the best...and welcome! // paul
