I Can't Write for S**t

the question always stands,
it mocks me to my face;
"what're you going to write about today?"
it smirks and sneers and chuckles
at my lack of creativity;
I can't let it win!
although I brainstorm for hours,
my paper comes up blank.
plagiarizing is illegal,
sleeping on it doesn't help.
I look at my hands and scream,
"damn you! make something beautiful!
make something worth reading!"

alas, this doesn't work,
and I'm sitting here again;
thinking and trying....











but nothing comes out.
