I want to write a poem
but I don't know where to start
Teacher says this sort of thing should come
from the heart

I want to write a poem
but the words don't seem to fit
Yet, I don't believe I have it in me to simply
up and quit

I want to write a poem
but everything just feels wrong
It's like when you know the tune
but not the song

I want to write a poem
but what I have is bad
This writers block has me feeling insecure
and sad

I want to write a poem
but it simply refuses to work
If I don't write one soon...
I think I'll go berserk
