04/19/2009 Writing ★ Poem by Coreena Dejesus

I sit here pondering clock ticks,
Hearing the sound of my pen click,
Staring at the lines of a blank sheet,
My heart pounding I can feel the beat,
Mind at a race thoughts everywhere,
At the sheet my eyes burn in stare,
My thoughts I watch the pen stroke,
Every work every sentence I choke,
Why can't I pour them out anymore,
Watching ink spill chilled to the core,
My pen keeps moving across the page,
My emotions can spill I fill with rage,
Outraged paper crunched into my hands,
Writing my mind blocks it bands,
Trash the words paper thrown away,
My emotions, fears, words inside they stay.
