Let the Inside Out

In my head there's a wardrobe That's full of old pap, And when I write down these words It's like turning a tap that empties The cupboard for a small length of time, Clearing a space, Line by line, Rhyme by rhyme, But when the words stop The wardrobe fills up, And I try to decide To go on Or give up, But if I give up Will the wardrobe explode, If the info that fills it goes on And still grows? Who knows?
