Writer's block,
Oh dear writer's block,
Why must you afflict me so?
I sit down in my chair,
Excited to write my story,
Knowing what I want to write,
But as soon as my fingers are on the black keys,
The exact words leave my brain.
I ponder,
I agonize,
But no matter how many words I type,
I end up hitting the backspace button,
All because I am not satisfied,
Thinking that it should be better.
When before I could type almost a mile a minute,
Now it takes me half an hour,
To strangle a few words from my imagination,
If that.
The only cure,
Is to keep going,
So here I am,
Forcing myself to write,
Because I want my dreams to live,
Even though writer's block,
Oh dear writer's block,
Wants them dead.
