Writers Block
Nothing left to write,
Something is just not right
I wait inside a conscience state
These words taunting me;
Once again caught by their inerasable bait
Searching for an external inspiration,
One revealed without the slightest sense of hesitation
There is nothing here but confusion,
Like waiting on a train at the station,
Without a schedule, there’s an uneasy sensation
Still the rider must get to their final destination
Just as the writer can’t wait on an explanatory factor,
To explain the cause, for this pause
Writers block is a dangerous place,
For a writer it can set a disaster pace
On a road were thoughts are sure to be erased,
Words cannot be replaced,
When placed by grace
To make a smile come upon your face
For that, a true writer has no disgrace
