Writer's Block Song

Inspired by emipoemi's excellent writer's block poems.

It’s two am and I’m wired

I just want to be inspired

But tongue is dumb

And my fingers numb

I want to sing a new song

Because everything is all wrong

Let it loop around my brain

And drive away all the insane

This is my writer’s block tune

I bid thee words, come soon

For I won’t sleep tonight

Until my hand can write

I need a melody that sounds like

Missing classes at Valley Pike

Why won’t these strings play

The sounds I make on stressful days

I want to sing a new song

Because everything is all wrong

Let it loop around my brain

And drive away all the insane

This is my writer’s block tune

I bid thee words, come soon

For I won’t sleep tonight

Until my hand can write

Author's Note

I am in the process of editing this, possibly adding another verse, and learning to write guitar music for it. But it most certainly has a tune that I'd be willing to share if asked.

Reviews

This is really good. And I think many people can relate to this at least once in their life. I know I had my fair share, and still going on some. Keep it up, hope to hear the full version some time.

This is really good, I enjoyed this write

If this is still a work in progress, I'll wait until the finished product to give a thorough review, if such be needed. What I would advise as start, however, would be to space out verse and chorus so readers could better understand what lines are going with which thoughts, and possibly the tune/melody would be more naturally apparent. Good start (and thanks for the shoutout! I'm flattered that my work has inspired you this much).

[Rachel Richardson]

That's a good thought. I'm currently sick and am having trouble thinking clearly but when I recoever I plan to be all over this site. (and it was my pleasure. Your work is powerful.)
