nothing..

i've forgotten how to write words
strum cords, play notes
i've barely enough words now to keep me afloat
i've lost the vote, the know how
that drive to write words
play notes, rhyme a verse
though my heart moves me to chorus
i can't find the thoughts, peace together the pieces
to create something worth writing
i've lost that biting, the itching
i don't have the drive to write nothing
man, it's f-ing with my mentality
damn! it hasn't found me
i don't even know if it's still looking for me :(
that bug that stings and lights a fire
in the mind in the fingers that perspires
thought patterns
imagery
writing...
i don't know where to start writing
words that form sentences that form
lines upon lines upon lines...
of feelings, thoughts and lies
i'm starting to despise other writers
who have what i want, what i need
i don't know how to let my mind bleed
new poems

sigh..
i've forgotten how to write words
tap dance or swing on a pole
(don't take that much skill anyways i'm told)
it's been too long and i'm strung out on
stale words, old adverbs and thoughts belonging
to a woman i hardly know
man, i don't know
where to start, how to begin
another poem
and feel, like a nothinghead.
