Reaching into the dark corners of my mind
Trying to find words to write
I come to a block, a wall if you will
I can't make the words flow from my pen
So much is on my mind
When I go to write, I'm illiterate
Reading other work I wish I could write
Even to have half the words of some, I'd be thankful
I can write, it's been done before
So many emotions to sift through, it all clugs up
And turns the pen in my hand to stone
And I reach again, looking for new words
But to no avail...

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind".

Writer's block is a real pain!  
Have no fear tho...just as it comes, it does eventually go. Nice write.

Nice way of writing about writers block. it does go though and you get this huge surge. it you're patient, good things will come.  

Thanks for the read.

Thanks for the support you guys... it just seems to me that I've had writer's block for the past 6 months! And then at 1:30 in the morning today I had a brilliant piece that I'll post in a minute! Thanks again!

If you define cowardice as running away and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.
