we're breathing in static
all that comes out is confusion
our hand are clasped
and our mouths are taped
let's bring in the big guns
I'll be your safety net
if you be mine
no scissors allowed

I'll make a map of my skin
and hope you can follow the directions
can you hear the ticking?
the hours are counting down
and you'll never stop and ask for help
so here we are
with the dashboard light as a lifeline

jump off your cliff
with your words clung close to your chest
dug into your fingernails
ingrained
don't panic
this is only a test

I've had such bad writters block, I'm amazed I even got this out.

I don't remeber if I can curse in this forum. So I'll say that it was bleepin' fantastic. The imagery makes that mind wonder and the themes are so strong. I hope you get over you block and write more. Thanx.

"we're breathing in static

Those first two lines had me instantly hooked! The rest just flowed so perfectly.

I love it

oh excellent. Brilliant writing. And if writers block was the price to pay for this, I would say it was well worth it!
eagerly awaiting. xx
