Why am I

Stuck

With nothing to write

When I have done

This

Many times before

I’m left alone

With

Myself and my words

They can not

Feel

When they don’t hurt

I can’t express

What

I’ve locked away

Away from myself

Everyday…

I can not help

those

who think it’s a game

How do I show them

When

They ask for the pain

Why am I

Stuck

With nothing to write

A page and a half

Of

My desolate plight.
