writer's block

So I'm a little stuck. Call it writer's block
or whatever, but this sucks. I couldn't write
a poem right now, even if my life
depended on it.

God forbid, some sneaky Russian
held me at gunpoint
from behind and forced me to write
a ghazal
or have my brains splattered
on the paper in front of me.

It's tough to try and be a Writer.
Like actually try, and say
hey, I'm going to be a Writer.
It's like suddenly
there is nothing to write about.

My life is uninteresting
and my new boring life
has nothing worth writing about
except the terribly dull subject
of being unable to write.

Your life is not boring. You have a lot to talk about. There is something new in your life every time I talk to you. I don't know any one who has gone through the things you have. I also remember in high school reading all the lyrics you wrote. You have a voice raf now all you have to do is put it to paper. Love you.
