When a mind draws blank
I've stared down your endless white seas,
Waiting for you to grab me.
I've seen the black oily fluid in my utensil,
Waiting for it to flow.
But no matter what I tried,
No matter what happened..
It just wouldn't show.
I've cracked my brain,
I've had fun and I've known sorrow.
I've tried a whole lot more of life,
In the little time that I could borrow.
But the words just wouldn't come.
Waiting for you to grab me.

I've had fun and I've known sorrow.
I've tried a whole lot more of life,
In the little time that I could borrow.
But the words just wouldn't come.

I have a tiny little critique. I think it reads better if you leave the word 'up' off at the end. Other than that I think it's a very creative poem and shows a lot of feeling. Nice job!

When the words won't flow to paper...been here many times. Kudos for not hacking song lyrics. I love that you just put pen down and made paper your bitch!
Good job on putting rant and frustrations to words!
