Writer's Block

Writer’s Block

Silent, blank, empty mind.

Devoid of inspiration; a big waste of time.

For all I wish to do, is begin to write,

But all the words I cannot think of have eluded my mind.

So here I sit, in front of the computer screen,

Just waiting for a divine intervention,

Or maybe some divine inspiration;

But all I have on my mind is a woman named Divine Brown.

I’m supposed to be a writer, but I can’t even write.

I can’t think of anything, original tonight.

All I can think of is what other people have already said.

Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this; maybe I should just go to bed.

Come on brain think, of a single sentence.

Maybe that will lead me, to write the rest;

Or maybe I should, just take a rest,

But I have so many words I wish to get off my chest.

But where to begin?  I’ll see what I’ve written so far…

Well I’ve written the title, I guess that’s a start

And I know what the plot is, but where do I begin?

With who?  What?  When?  Or Where? 

Why is it so hard to think?

Ok, so He’s here and they’ve just done that,

So all I have to think about, is what happens next.

Ok, yeah that’s good; I’ll just type it before I forget.

No, wait that’s not good enough, maybe a drink will help.

Now I’m on my third bottle of wine and I still cannot write.

I guess I’ll go back to bed and try again tomorrow.

But wait, here it is!  My thoughts are all falling into line.

Yes!  That sounds good. They can do that;

Damn!  There goes my phone.

Now where was I, oh yeah, that’s right.

I had it just; come on what was I going to write?

If I sit here long enough, it’s bound to come back to me;

But I’m feeling so tired, I can no longer think.

I’ll try again in the morning;

I’m too tired to care anymore.

Maybe I shouldn’t be writing this book.

Maybe there’s something else that will be easier to do.

This whole writing thing is too hard;

I guess I’ll just do a job that requires no words.
