''--------------------------------------''

    Blank,Yes I'm blank.
    Blank as a sheet of paper.
    Blank as a starless and dustless sky
    Blank as the face of the sculpture.

   I'm blank,totally I am.
   Blank as a mute,deaf serpent,
   Blank as a tin can
   Whose surface's free from an ant's footprints
      or a flies

   Blank.That's what I am now
   Blank as ignorance and death
   Blank as indifference and silence
   Blank as blackness.Blank as whiteness
   Blank as a pen that can't write word.
   Blank as a chatter box that can't murmur a sound
   Blank as a canvas that paints no smile nor a frown

        That's it.I'm Blank!
  Sometimes,It is good to be just __________________!

Thanks for your review.

You're sentiments are very much on par with how I feel in times of writers' block...if I ever counted the hours of my life that were spent just gawking at blank paper, I would have several weeks, probably even a few months...I think everyone needs some anonymity at some points in their lives if they wish to stay sane, which is another feeling that came to mind reading this piece :)
