"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” -Sylvia Plath


My mind is empty, robbed
Not of life, just memories
Of that night
The night that made me
stop playing for
a month;
the night that made me
forget everything
that happened that day
and the next.

When I try to remember
my mind goes blank
I see every detail
every silver lining
and then
when I get to a point
nothing.

I don't see anything
My mind is empty
blank
like an unused cd
waiting for memory
for life.

I sit and concentrate
waiting
my head spins
pouding
trying to uncover the
memories that
are unknown
to me.

My mind is empty, robbed
No way to remember
No way to uncover
the memories
that cloud my head.

Empty.
There's nothing there.
No memories, no faded thoughts.
Emptiness.
