I search through catalogs of conscious

 

Ripping and Dragging

 

Foaming and Sweating

 

Hoping and Praying

 

For even the slightest bit of inspiration

 

 

Simple enough is it not?

 

To sit before a table and write

 

To wring you body until your soul seeps onto a page

 

A stream of thought lost in an ocean of shackles

 

I hope for something more to come

 

Sit and wait in horrid boredom

 

Still I rise to the seat as often as I may

 

Cutting and Slicing these forest until I am heard

 

I Scream for more time as the buzzer of agenda pulls me away

 

Perhaps my voice shall never be heard over the chorus

 

But that doesn't make its melody any less important
