My Blank Brain



Sometimes I just sit and think
Of what I'm going to write.

Other times it hits me fast,
And my mind takes off in flight.

My head is full of Images
That want to jump outside my brain

When I get some thoughts like this
They come in Sun or Rain.

But other times my mind's a blank
There is nothing left too say

So I cast away all of my doubts,
And write something anyway

This is what you get tonight
From the blank brain in my head

I'm sorry it isn't better
I guess I need to go to bed.
