"Benighted"

One needs inspiration they say

To create a marvellous piece of art.

But how can you decipher a way

To fix this broken heart?

Enthralling metaphors, all well thought-out

The clash of emotions from deep inside

These sentiments I sorely doubt

The feeling frustrates me, how can I focus and hide?

Sometimes, you just don't know what to write anymore

You pour it all, from deep down your very core

Your head's a mess, your mind-set is bleak

And the truth lies ahead your body so sick.

The ink-black nib builds calligraphy

In a sheet of paper where you settled to vent

But ideas just won't pop out simultaneously

Enmity to words wasn't simple meant.

See now? Why oh why did my poem sucked?

Though I relinquished my emotions so abrupt

Aiming of the impossible, assuming again

This doleful pain overcomes my entirety, even my pen.
