Writer’s Block
WRITER’S BLOCK
It’s like my lungs won’t expand and I need to breathe
Like… the words don’t form when I need to speak
Like… can’t find a pen and got barrels of ink
Like… no memories appearing and I need to think
Writer’s block…
It’s like wanting to keep living but having no heartbeat
Like… wanting to fill a hunger but there’s not food to eat
Like… needing to travel distances and having no feet
Like… trying to move mountains and being just a little too weak
Writer’s block…
It’s like trying to make a sentence and not thinking of any verbs
Like… screaming loud as you can and never being heard
Like… riding on a boogie-board and can’t catch the smallest surf
Like… having a million dollars but never knowing worth
Writer’s block…
It’s like trying to plant a seed and not finding any dirt
Like… begging to feel pain and not knowing what is hurt
Like… wanting to catch a man and being unable to flirt
Like… going for a touchdown and running the wrong way on the turf
I’m tryna write right with all my might…
But… That’s what writer’s block feels like.

you did well with this one… writing about having writer’s block.
*complex
amen to that. writing about writer’s block is the BEST cure for writer’s block. haha.
*high five*
I like the repetition of the Like…this would be an interesting spoken piece. and I agree with ThebigShow…writing is the best cure for writers block. I always think of writers block as sooo much to say that one is not sure where to start or how to end…sometimes it’s just great to begin anywhere and ride that wave until you reach the bottom of the ocean and come up and try again.
