lost for words

i can't do this
but i'll give it a try
pen in my hand
my thoughts run dry.
as my mind thinks
it looks for some words
but i only come up with
ones that act like swords:
that make me feel better
while they ruin your life
i'll use all my words
like a kitchen knife
when i look for new themes
my thoughts run dry
pen in my hand,
i'll still give it a try
