Over Used

Is that it?

Are there no more words worth saying?

Could it be

That all my cuts and gashes

Have scabbed?

 

Is that it?

Is that where I derive my words?

From the old stubborn pain

Of a heart in shards?

Is my ink not simply

My life blood pouring out?

 

Is that it?

Is it so sad that I need

To hurt in order to spill rhymes?

Is it worth it to pick at old wounds

Just so I can make a bit of

Self indulgent art?

 

Is that it?

Does my mind simply become

Stagnant when it has no

Negative input?

 

Can't I write when I'm full?

 

Can't I write when I'm happy?

 

Can't I write whenever I want, regardless to how you left me?

 

Is that it?

A question I asked myself over and over

Is that it?

The only person willing to listen

To my pleas was an inanimate

Pad of college rule?

Is that it?

Is it?
