Writer's block?

No inspiration

What am I to do?

A writer without a drive

A pen without any ink left

That isn't right!

 

Blocked 

Locked

Stuck

But I refuse to rhyme that last line with a curse word

I'm in a cursed world 

And I'm suppose to be the blessing

But my lack of inspiration has got me stressing

 

I'll admit it - I'm weak 

But thanks be to God that in my weakness 

He is strong

So I'll write a new song

And sing it out loud

Write out loud 

 

These words come from my heart

I'm in love with you 

Now and forevermore

I'm in love with you

Now, now and forevermore

Oh, who hasn't felt the terrible bite of writers block. I love when a good poem comes out of it, after all, though. What a great way to give Calliope, Euterpe, and Erato the middle finger, right? Haha. ?
