A BLANK PAGE

A blank page stares back at me

 

We look at each other with no words uttered 

The blank page's scrutiny

 

Causes my mind to blow with imagination

 

The possibility that the paper can no longer be empty

 

Stronger and tempting

 

My heart aches with all the emotions 

Buried deep down my heart

 

Cutting their way up

 

Wanting to be heard

 

With a vast collection of ideas

 

My mind gives up

 

Leaving my eyes to stare down at the blank page

 

Hopelessly.
