Off the Top: Just Typing

This wasn't planned, I don't know what to say
Just feel crammed, this writer's block won't go away
So I thought I shouldn't think
Maybe take an extended blink
Stare into the darkness and feel the dark I see
Stare at the empty to try and fix the emptiness in me
 
Can't think of much else to talk about
But if you feel a certain way you need to shout it out
So they can hear you from the far back
Because shame will lead back into the black
Don't ever be ashamed to feel
Feelings are the only way to truly know we're real,
Hope you liked this little "freestyle" 
And as you read it, I hope it made you smile

Eric, it did make me smile. There's a good message in your verse. I think you mean "hear" instead of "here," though. You might want to fix that! Thanks for sharing.
