Writer's Block Is...

Submitted by horsegrl291 on April 26, 2008 - 15:30.

Writer's block
doesn't help
when you want to say something
but don't know how to say it
it's like the words
are on the tip of your tongue
almost afraid
to shine,
let loose,
and break through that hard set of teeth
But I guess that's just a metephore
to how I am
wanting to say or do something,
but afraid to shine,
let loose,
and break through that hard outer edge
of fright
Writer's Block
is nothing more
than words being afraid
to shine,
let loose,
and break through that hard set of teeth
all they need, is time
time to figure out
when the right time is,
to talk
