Hate is forgotten love.<br /> <br /> Paranoya is the brute strength of fear.<br /> <br /> Gum is sticky, like time.

I want to write.
But words slip from my grasp.
Enraged and ready to fight,
I find are words that might be right.
But no, I am not a boxer.
I try sleepy and tired,
But those too are fired.
A meaningless poem meant to show,
that not even writer's block can slow.
The words now are easy,
But if only alone and sad weren't the final answer.
