Doesn't it **** when your mind goes numb? When all you can do is twiddle your thumbs? A blank page before you has infinite plans And all you can do is fold your hands.
To write such a sweet and lustrous tune Sometimes it takes the entire of June! And sometimes it never leaves your head And it keeps you awake while lying in bed.
It tears at your talent and races your heart That suddenly you've truly forgotten your art. That after the years of praise and shower You can't even recite portray a flower.
It's petals are but some weeping hands That fall upon such tiny lands Which bees and such take a tiny hit Of pollen so rich and....um.....****!
You tear up the pages and throw them away This is the last time, on the same day. It's finally done, you sit and you cry The day that your lustrous talent has died.
So pain and sorrow consume your hour All is thanks to that ****** old flower. And your life has turned against the tides And you life has become a puddle of lies.
To write a poem, a story, a book To have a knack, a nitch, a nook. You never give up and never retire Until you pass your final hour.
