Pen to the Paper

Pen to the Paper

A Poem by Working Class Scarecrow

                i go watch these singers
                            and find myself awe struck
       then i put my pen to the paper
                   but my hand keeps gettin stuck
          so i reach for a keyboard
                     like it's a fresh new f**k
                            and it sees me gettin nervous 
                 well i guess it's just my luck

                        i keep looking for these answers
                          like questions are a cancer
and it's killin me that they don't kill everyone

the way they twist me up
like the liquer in my cup
i'm lookin for the bartender to say
"i thnk you've had enough"

i can hear some people talking
but they never seem to say that much

Great comparison between "a new f**k" and nervousness. Those lines made me giggle. I like everything about this piece though it does seem like it has more to say. Is there more to the story? If so, I would love to hear it. Nicely done!
