what?

I decided to experiment with my writers block today and sat down and wrote a piece based on how it feels trying to force yourself to write through writers block. Everything I wrote is how I felt while trying this and it was written in real time. I wonder if anyone else feels like this when they can't get the words out?  
 
 
I couldn't write a thing today  
my writers block is chronic
My mind shut down and everything failed
And even as I write this now it feels forced and stale
I cant catalog my words to the point of perfection  
But as anyone of you who has read my work knows this isn't really a change in direction  
So I decided that it would be fun  
To force this experience then explain how its done  
But as my fingers creep to the board  
and my mind opens it rusty young doors  
the only word that I can find  
In the tiny crevices of my mind  
 
What?....
 
Its the start of a sentence so surely there's more  
thats just the light through the key hole of the door  
And now its a fight I can win, so I'm pushing and pulling to find my way in  
And as I squeeze and I flex and I give everything  
I remember what writing is
Not something hard to be forced with a fist  
So ill leave it at 4 syllables instead of four lines  
In due time
