a poem about somehting we alllllll experience, being blocked.
Blocked Poet.

This is the way
that i portray
the feelings that dwell inside.
My way of expression
but still with descretion
my feelings that dwell inside.

The way that i write
is no real insite
to how i live my life.
I feel a feeling
and put it on paper
do the basics
and fix it up later.

OK, so now the poem is down.
But its not 'the' poem.
Its 'my' poem.
The poem i wear as my crown.

I wear a few now
each one golder than the last
i gradually get more and more
as my life slips past.

No eyes have seen them all.
No eyes exept for mine
my friends, they call them brilliant
but me, i call them slime.
Because i know i can do better
but right now im not free
the words cant form inside my head
no, not possibly.

The rhymes are lame
always the same
and theres a good example.
But when i cant write
i cant escape
and thats something i cannot handle.

I want my poems to mean something
to other people
not just me
i have all my hidden meanings
that no one else can read.
Things only i will understand
or someone whos danm close
but all of that seems so little
because what really matters most.

Is that they took the time
to read that poem
to waste a minute on me
a minute of their precious life
and thats what sets me free.
