I feel............

I have a head full of ideas
But a mouth that's wordless
A cage that's nice and ready
But still remains birdless
I have millions of empty pages
But an overwhelming amount of stress
I have music always playing
But all the words just keep on staying
Stuck in my brain
My remaining hope going down the drain
And my head is going in a lot of different lanes
But I need it to stay in one
Inspiration.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack
It's like finding your coat on a full closet rack
It's like lightning striking in the same spot
Hoping for inspiration
Is like leaving fruit out and expecting it not to rot
Inspiration comes from few and far
And everywhere in between
It's stubborn and annoying
And likes to keep to itself
It never shares
And inspiration is like a teddy bear
Holding a knife
All I want to tell you is how I feel!
And I just want to scream the right words!!
But how do I tell you how I feel
If words don't seem to work?
How do I tell you how I feel
If sounds won't come out?
How do I tell you how I feel
If I'm stuck on the inside looking out?
How do I tell you how I feel
when I feel so much I wish it could stop?
And I'm worried.
Because writing should be as simple as words on a page
Almost as natural as an actor on a stage
Each little letter
Just a bunch of lines
But they go together like birds and feathers
And coal in dark mines
They should flow like a river
And stick together like two valentines
But my words don't seem to hold any weight
As they all float up to outer space
My tongue is held prisoner
I wish I could find the key
I wish my words would come back to me...
