somebody's dungeon

I'm behind the wall,
pounding with my fists
until they are bloodied,
in the frantic hope of inspiration
from the crimson drops
upon the empty page.

Incessant paper waiting
screeching, wretched, blank,
there on the floor at my feet
still empty of any thought.

I can't paint a picture
not with this strangled stricture
of my creative flow,
damn wouldn't you know
poetry is all I am
so what now, that it's a sham
please tell me, who I am?
