Nothing To Write

Nothing to write, nothing to say

Time goes by, from day to night

The light creeps away as always

Open my jaw, try to say it right

Yet, it's dry as if the moisture 

Evaporated right off my tongue

At my incompetence, an anger

Grows, powerful and fierce, young

All my mistakes form a set of pins

Tall, looming, ominous, shaky

Until one by one they fall, my sins

I can't breathe, it's all crushing me

Blinking in and out, staring down

Reaching out, pain begins reeling in

Rising higher, feeling myself drown

Fears engulf, as my head starts to spin

Despair's dark blade piercing my heart

Everything spills out, a new kind of art

I let out a yell, eyes misty, finally free!

They're looking not at me, they still can't see

I speak, each word bounces off their ear

They walk away as if I was never even here

All of a sudden, I change, eyes glowing

A lion, proud and strong, I let out my roar

A hawk, fast and free, I pump my wings

From rock bottom, now with the sun I soar

I slam my hands against the wall

A crack, they hesitate and begin to turn

At last, I break through, a million shards fall

Their eyes widen and my fire burns

Scorching through their hearts and minds

Making myself heard, then understood

Pushing ahead, though once lagging behind

The beginning reached, an end to be made good
