What Do I Write About Now

Is it writers block or have all my ideas been exhausted?
Can I find something interesting for people to read? 
Will the title alone be enough to succeed? 
Will enough people take notice? 
Or will my article even be published?

My mind is a often times a mess
My thoughts are all scattered I must confess
How many rewrites must I partake?
Will it be good enough to send in?
Will someone like it and become a friend?

What will be my topic of choice? 
Will I have enough thoughts to put on paper?
Or should I just stop and try again later?
Does every sentence have to rhyme? 
Why does this process take so much time?

Why do I like to write poems and songs?
Should I tell the truth or just plain lie?
Should I keep writing just to stay busy?
Do I have another decent write in me?
Why do I feel that I must belong? 



Well… I think this one is finally finished
Time to hit save and submit
Go back on the web and read more poems
But why do I feel so alone?
