Spoken Word:
'Writer's Block'
BY: RICARDO FANAKEN
I feel like I have writer's block
My whole world ended
When the pencil dropped
Rivers quenched
My soul just stopped
Words of my expression
Now I had saught
Endless quests
With unending want
My soul feels drenched
With empty thoughts
So now I'm looking for that fuel
Ideas that spark that duel
Which challenges
And sandwiches
Identities of old and new
Of once I had thought
So I roam through the streets of my mind
Hoping to see, hoping to find
Something akin
My soul is aching
No more forsaking
I sense my soul awaken
Captured and abducted
Gravity has it's hold
I won't give up
Cause I can't let go
Of these melodies
That keep haunting me
I just can't escape this chrysalis of identity
So I gotta continue
No I won't stop
As I work through this brain freeze
A brain shock
And deep cries out to deep
I unlock
I press through these fires within
And totally shatter what my past called
Writer's block!
