I can’t write!

(a poem)

I can’t write when I’m angry

I can’t write when I’m tried

I can’t write when I’m happy

I can’t write when I’m uninspired

I can’t write when I’m cold

I can’t write when I’m hot

I can’t write when I’m excited

I can’t write when I’m not

I can’t write when I’m out

I can’t write when I’m at home

I can’t write when people are around

I can’t write when I’m alone

I can’t write, I can’t write!

Will I ever write again?

If the words will just appear

Will someone tell me WHEN
