Writer’s Block<br />

Amanda Rigby-Vasquez<br />

I have tried to think of thoughts<br />

Thoughts of thinking about words<br />

However, all I continue to perceive is the void<br />

I want to contribute, to make something resplendent<br />

Nothing but the void fills my festering head<br />

Knitting things together within my thoughts<br />

I cannot tell you how this blank space frustrates me<br />

Could this be a projection<br />

Another way of starting something new<br />

Never thought that this could happen to me… Just kidding<br />

Slivers of ideals continue to pursue me<br />

Least of all my dissatisfaction, within my restless mind<br />

Echoes of something plague my head from within<br />

Endless thoughts continue, but nothing continues to stick<br />

Perhaps I will continue to contribute my blank spaces<br />

Nothing seems to be going my way<br />

Obscure whispers guide my words<br />

Worthless.<br />
