"Look out, they're coming after us with big guns,
They're only gonna tell you all the bad things I've done
Even if they words they say aren't true they've won,
Now I'm left here dying in the sun..."

My mind whirls.
Billions of words.
Unused.

If you look to my right,
you see my pen.
Sitting there, still full of
bright
purple
ink.

If you look to my left,
you see one of my notebooks.
Lying there, still lacking
scribbled
rough
drafts.

Inside my head,
I scream.
Words bursting out my ears,
yet none of them match my
needs.

Right now, I'm going through a few issues, and this kind of shows how I don't know how to tell anyone about them. I'm at a lack of words.
