I'm a lost poet
in an ocean of words
it spins around my head
like a wrecking ball
as I try to find the right words
but they can no longer be found.
Anxiety, anxiety,anxiety
is like a twinge in my chest
I try to ignore it
but it goes into crescendo
as I inhale words into my body
Help me.
My eyes hollered
but all that they can see
is that forceful smile on my face
I feel
tears welling up in my eyes
I feel
a lump in my throat
yet no one knows
the pain
of a lost poet
