Note: These are just little scribbles thought off the top of my head. The paragraphs are unrelated to each other.
The world flashes by, scenery changing in the blink of an eye. The bouncing beat of the radio slowly fades into the background as my mind begins to wander. I stare at the unrelentingly blue sky, tufts of cloud painting the endless canvas in the most lovely of patterns.
It has been
Hours
Since I last worked
Now I just sit here
Staring at my screen
Fingers unmoving
Eyes glazed over
Deadlines scream at me
Telling me how little I've done
And how much I haven't
I am very aware
I haven't forgotten
I just...don't want to
What is wrong with me
A million ways to start a sentence
So many words to choose from
Yet none of them are ever right
And I end up stuck
Falling into an endless tunnel of swirling words
That fall to pieces as soon as I try to string them together
Sometimes after countless revisions
A perfect sentence is forged
Only to be scrapped
For it doesn't fit with the rest of the writing
And sometimes
If it doesn't fit
I say
To heck with it!
And pull the puzzle apart
Because one piece wouldn't fall into place
No matter how hard I tried to jam it in
So because of that
None of them can
Pieces are thrown into the air
Fading into nothingness
Never to exist again
To forever remain
A puzzle unfinished
Curse this mind
Curse this body
Curse these thoughts
Curse these fingers
For rather than typing
My essay
Or drawing my assignment
i sit here
Typing
Cursing all there ever was to curse about myself
And that's a lot
There's too much for this scribble to curse
Oh
Curse this too
*washes mouth out with soap* I didn't mean any of that...
