He's struggling hard to get outside
He really does not want to hide
But something keeps him out of sight
Behind a concrete wall

He's always trying to express
And looks for words without success
Each time he tries it's just a mess
That makes no sense at all

He looks for holes he can go through
He's desperate to speak to you
Yet caught inside without a clue
He wants to run amok

I wish that I could set him free
To write for all the world to see
Somehow the poet's trapped in me
Behind a writers block
