Nothing comes to mind
Because when ideas are trying to fly
My fingers hold the pen paralyzed
Its like my creativity is killed
by the beautiful assassin
called Distraction
and I forget whats happenin
to me
can somebody please
help me understand...
and i know im not alone
when my thoughts try to roam...
and the bridle and reins see?
They arent held by me.
My thoughts are not, cannot be
my own.
