Writer's block (ft. existential crisis)

by penguinpoems

Writers block is just a giant wall blocking an even rockier path than the one you're on Once you find a topic, you can't find the first word, the first rhyme, the first line, the first stanza, and I throw my hands up in anger because I end up writing words in order random or words to make the lines rhyme sandal My search history is 99% "words that rhyme with this or that" Search results: sat, flat, cat well that doesn't make sense within the context but screw making sense or metaphors or deep lore that you have to analyze, why can't I just write out my feelings without the right rhymes? I thought poetry was my remedy, but it's also my demise.
