Damn!

I hate when this happens

As I sit here in the silence of my lonely room

My thoughts drift off to another place and time

I close my eyes and take a deep breath then sigh

I hear sirens in the distance of this awful city

As a car drives by screeching his tires

The neighbor's dog is howling

My doors are locked

It's 2 am

 

Everyone in the house is asleep but me

I can't keep from worrying

Too much anxiety

Too much stress

Too many regrets

 

Computer screen at my fingertips

The clock is ticking away slowly upon the wall

As the kitchen faucet drips

So I put on another pot of coffee

Another night of fighting sleep

My doors are locked

It's 3 am

 

Computer screen at my fingertips

Staring at a blank screen

Is quite frightening

Trying to overcome writer's block

As the clock on the wall goes tick tick tock

My doors are locked

It's 4 am

 

Damn!

Wow, I can really relate to this piece. I'm a raving insomniac and frequently suffer from writer's block. There is nothing that can bring me down quite like writer's block can. Great writing, I really liked it!
