The page is so blank
I write a few words
But the words just crawl away
I try to hold on to them
But they just don’t stay
Don’t know what it is
That makes them go like this
I try hard and hard
And again and then again
I make few shapes
But the words don’t remain the same
They change their meanings on their own
I write them again
Pierce the pencil on the paper
But then again the words just disappear
Now the page is drenched with tears
Why are my words doing this to me?
Why are they not here when they should be?
Flying away my words make faces
The slightest dot leaves, leaving no traces
I don’t know how to follow them
Don’t know how to get them back
I don’t even have any new words
I don’t even know what to do
Without my mysterious word’s world
They used to be my creations
And now they just turn away from me
They tease me
They hurt me, they make fun of me
It hurts to see them making me cry
But still I don’t quit
I try again for one more time
Maybe they will come back
To express all the feelings of mine
Yet again I try to write
Maybe the page won’t stay this white
Maybe I won’t get disappointed again
And maybe just maybe it won’t pain
I hold the pencil for just one more try
With fear my fingers shiver
But still I inhale and scribble
Tears block my vision
Washing away it all
The pencil fells on floor
As I can’t just take it anymore
My words have gone forever
I never had this tremor
But now it has occurred
No words left to create a new world
Now what is left I thought
Me and my blank page is all what I have got!
The page just stares me
it just makes a silent plea…..
