Blank Pages

Blank white pages, staring back at me

Waiting for inspiration, waiting to be

Something beautiful, something that sounds

So sweetly melodic it completely drowns

Out all the noise and trouble of this life

And there's no longer a need for this here knife

Scars fade with each word I dare write

These same words allow me to sleep at night

The page fills, turning from white to grey

On this page my feelings are portrayed

As I write the last word, my hand oh so sore

I pick up my poem and read it once more.
