Writer's Block

As if someone put a lock on my brain
jailing my thoughts and words
caught by the guards trying to escape
prolonging their stay
Stuck behind bars of mental scars
confined to their cell 
taunted by numbers and equations 
being feed letters and punctuation 
through open slots in metal doors

Love this take on "Writer's Block." It is so well-expressed. I also wrote on the same topic earlier this month so it is very good to see your wonderful take on it. Bravo!!!
