I'm Willing to Play For a While

sinisterVT's picture

I laugh in your face writer’s block
I've found I'm not so occupied by trying to get away you
because I know
You play silly games with me
And I'm willing to play a while
Lets go dance for a while
While my pen lays motionless
Lets go on the swings while I leave my thoughts to them self’s
And take a break for a while
I'll play your games
But it’s my world
And I'm only playing with you
Until she writes back.

to me it feels like you are missing some words in here...

I laugh in your face at writer's block

..trying to get away from you

and I feel like it's "themselves"...
otherwise..interesting content. It has a point but maybe elaborate a bit more
