I can't write a poem,
My hands won't dare touch,
That clean sheet of paper,
Standing in front of my completely blanked out mind,
With its blue and red stripes zooming across,
Around,
And up and down the page,
Causing my fragile head to spin,
Triggering me to fall off my chair,
And shake my head out of disorientation,
Right when I pick my butt back up off the floor,
While I sit back in that stupid chair,
That caused me to fall,
And then I look at that piece of paper that was once empty,
When I realize that it is full of silver scribbles about how,
I can't write a poem

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others, for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

That was Great!!!

Nothing matters more than those who depend on you, emotionally or physically. Even if the situation is life or death, you have to be there for them, because they need you.

I liked it. I'm not sure what you where thinking but it makes me think of 'writer's block'. Good job :)

Excellent work! I think it perfectly describes writer's block. I didn't catch any spelling or grammar mistakes, so great job!
