Writers' Blocks

Yup.

Blocks. 

Writers' blocks. 

I am dealing with one of those blocks as a writer. 

It's sitting before me, staring at me with cube textures. 

It just keeps coming back. 

Whilst I sleep. 

Whilst I shower. 

Whilst I get ready for school. 

Whilst I sit in a desk for 6 hours. 

Whilst I come home. 

Whilst I sleep once more.

For shame... 

Repeat.

I've tried everything I could possibly think of to rid myself of it. 

I've tried disassembling it with my very hands. 

I've tried throwing it down a sewer drain. 

I've tried tossing buckets of paint on it to spark some creativity to it's plain, blocky, wooden features. 

I've even tried throwing it into a volcano as a sacrifice. 

But nothing works.

People say that they have trouble writing and yet write so well. This is just what you did. I liked what you have written. ☺

I quite enjoy this poem. It is part humor, part frustration. Sadly, I know writer's block far too often for my liking. My favorite line was "I even tried throwing it into a volcano as a sacrifice."
Overall, good poem on the woes of writers.
