Why I Haven't Posted
when there's nothing to post

The page stays empty
When I can’t find the words
The blinking cursor taunts me
.
I stare into space blankly
My unblinking eyes burn
The page stays empty
.
I used to think I could write creatively
Now racking my brain hurts
The blinking cursor taunts me
.
Every line I write is erased immediately
Can’t do better than that? the cruel thoughts return
The page stays empty
.
Your ideas are terrible, they tell me bluntly
Harsh words that I feel I deserve
The blinking cursor taunts me
.
You’re not cut out for this, I hear the whispers daily
So I decide to try again later, if I can ever find my worth
The page stays empty;
The blinking cursor taunts me
