Pen and Paper

Every day is a page to write a new story
Though spilled ink caused my fumbled words
The torn pages of my past
Hiding out behind lock and key

Preserving every new adventure
A museum of my inner self
Scrambling to find the last page
Fearing the tragedy of writer's block

The lullabies of tales before me
Encouraging, yet dismissed
My blood flows through my pen
No chapters skipped
I will give you everything

Fantastic, I really liked the feel and the flow of this poem. It is obvious it came from some place very deep. I can relate to this. It seems we poets do give everything in these verses we pen, whether anyone wants to find it or not
