worthless words

This new white sheet
stings my eyes,
i've been at this all night
and nothing.
im feeling nothing

and everything
and that stupid
blinking cursor-
its beginning
to mock me

its telling me
over and over
again that
im stupid
and worthless
and that no matter
how hard I try

or don’t try,
these words
wont flow
smoothly.

and these little
green teeth,
keep on biting
my words
because they’re
mad at me
for being
“grammatically
incorrect.”

There’s a block
that’s disconnecting
my mind
from my hand

and my hand
from my heart,
and because of it
there’s nothing

but everything.

I feel it on my
finger tips,
between my
fingers
and the keys.
on the edge
of my mind-
there waits
everything

but nothing.



random poetry. seemed appropriate. i usually only share my stuff with one person, but its the perfect display of how im feeling right now. i dont mean to get all gushy on you (not that anyone really reads my blog anyway) just some random spillage of my thoughts.
