A Poem

I was told to write a poem
So I asked, what kind of poem?
My teacher said, “anything”
Which left me thinking

Should I write a happy one?
Or should I write a sad one?
Because it really is hard to write
When you don't know which topic is right

So I think and think and think
But all I do is blink
I come out empty handed
But I don't want teacher to be disappointed

So I just write here what I feel
Yes, teacher, this is for real
Here's the poem you asked me to write
I hope it turned out alright
