When I Sit Down to Write Up a Poem



When I sit down to write up a poem for you
There’s nothing that comes to my head

There are so many words, they clutter my brain,

But I’m filled with a silence instead

A silence so dense, it splits through my mind,

A silence that kills with a passion

A silence so loud that it’s leaking with words,

That spill in a sickening fashion

But there are so many things I have yet to say,

Why, my head works so hard, to keep them away,

Why can I not put them out in the open,

is it because I feel I might seem too broken?
