Where Did the Scenery Go?

Dead on the inside

I can't conjure any inspiration

to lift my imagination

from this barren plain

 

Searching for stimulation

I've stumbled across enunciation

In those rare moments

when the torrent of my heart overflows

 

But now my chest is lacking

since all the valleys and hills have been flattened.

In the mountains where my muse reposed

All that remains are empty paths of prose

 

So I'll write.

Where once I put pen to screen

to catch my screams

Now I'll clatter away to

Escape the doldrum of emotional boredom
