Blank Screen

Deana Marshall (Baconator)
I sit here, blank screen..

No thoughts really,
yet so many.

Pangs of desperation..
frustration too.

Yet lack of feelings.
I don't have a clue..

A rambling idiot..
a song-less bird.

Have wings will fly..
grounded for life.

Swim like a fish
on a dusty ground.

Stand tall and firm..
break like a brittle twig.

Direction you ask?
I haven't a clue..

Just a rambling idiot..
unreachable dreams.

Hands tied behind me
yet able to climb.

One foot forward..
knees kicked to the ground.

Today will be different?
I shudder the thought.

No, today will be the same..
and tomorrow no change.

See.. I can't fix it all..
no matter how hard I try.

Given up?
Throw my hands in the air?

No.. giving in.. letting it go..
Let God take me there..

On bended knee..
hands up in the air..

Plea of desperation..
I can't do it alone.

blank screen..
