I'm not a poet I'm a self proclaimed genius with a pen with thoughts running through my head like gazelles in the plains of Africa and I'm just waiting for a lion to come swallow them up and finally give me a good idea a good idea that rests on your mouth like a Listerine patch and comes out in a cool minty breath a good idea that is so easily shared amongst the masses and is of the ability to make them cry laugh smile think but how can I make them think when I can't even think of a good idea besides, who is this 'them' that I'm trying to please? and how can I please 'them'? with a notebook full of scribbled out sentences and torn out pages both results of my rage and yes, I write a lot about writers block because writers block is so evident to me and I see a whole lot of words like butterflies in a field and I'm without a net to catch them and I just stand there staring wishing I could piece them all together but, if I write about writers block often then is writers block something to write about therefore I don't have writers block? I don't know I'm not a poet I'm just a teenagers with writers block just trying to catch butterflies -Slang
