WARNING: This one isn't funny so....

The words swirl around me

Taunting like black crows

My task is to collect them

Sort them into some kind of sense

Turn the crows into pretty flowers or calming waves

But to me the flowers are already wilted

And the waves only crash against me

Wearing me down until there is nothing left

And when I’m calling, crying out for help

All I receive are the images of their sunflower fields

And perfectly swirled dark clouds

Why can’t I see it?

My eyes search for the method, the how

How can they create masterpieces,

When all I see are crows?

Author's Note:
For this one we were supposed to write about something that we struggled with emotionally or something that just made us really sad. This is about my struggles with writing. I always feel like I'm unable to find the right words to make the beautiful writings you see from other people.
