It’s traumatic not knowing what to type
It’s that edgy feeling till your thoughts ripe
Its difficult to sleep in peace
I place a variety of words on a leash
I sit with a cup of coffee
With my laptop glaring at me
My mind is weakened
My soul is vacant
My cursor is blinking impatiently
And I am deleting each line repeatedly
My hearts not burning with sorrow
My heart is happy but hollow
I don’t feel anything extreme
I don’t feel generous or mean
My mind is at peace
My thoughts are at ease
And until an artist can’t feel
Their thoughts are concealed
So I need to dig in deep
And let this moderate feeling seep.
