I want to write

Create something

Out of nothing

Put it into words

Let thoughts crawl

On a page empty

Find missing thoughts

Feel missing feels

what should I write?

Describe this song

The soothing music

Piano, nature sounds

Serene but not felt

My mind blocked

What should I write?

Explain the perfume

The smell of a child

Sleeping soundly

After bedtime bath

Breathing rhythmically

Into my willing ear

What should I write?

The noises outside

Dogs barking

Down the street

Vehicles passing by

Someone shouts

The silence…

What should I write?

About them waiting

Begging me not to rest

Not to shut my eyes

Waiting for another round

To serve drinks and lies
