Fear of Writers Block

I've never had writers block but I fear it
Wrote 30 poems a day for 11 years, I'm not looking for a writer to compare with
Sometimes I write something so personal I don't want to share it
I get scared I may say too much, and they'll say they didn't need to hear it 

I put my life on paper, but sometimes I just like to see how many words I can rhyme
find inspiration in anything, I've always got a verse in my mind
From simple rhymes, double rhymes, internal to double entendres
I'm having a grand day (Grande) with dreams of making a wife of Ariana

I paid for my mistakes and i'm glad they didn't come at a higher cost
I may have suffered but at least I never had writers block
There's no limit to how many rounds of ammo my pen can fire off
I just try to finish every verse before the desire's lost

I wrote a poem called  "Dear Chantal" maybe I shouldn't have put her Name in it
But am I wrong when I was just trying to get the pain to lift?
I try and be original but every story has been told already
If it Rains , then I hope it falls heavy 

I need it to clear the air and wash my pain away
I've put every flaw of mine in my art, so you knew I came this way
When I have a bad time, a sad mind, i find paper and attach rhymes
It's my way of surviving and trying to change the day

I've never had writers block but I fear it 
Wrote 30 poems a day for 11 years, I'm not looking for a writer to compare with
Sometimes I write something so personal I don't want to share it
But I'm thankful I can write, I've never had writers block but I fear it
