writer's block

too tired to do anything,

but too much of a perfectionist to do nothing.

that's depression, i guess, but at the same time,

i wish i at least could express myself.


plagued by thoughts i can't control,

self-doubting myself every second, wish someone,

anyone payed attention to my writing,

hoping to some day gain the confidence to

be myself?  love myself, and be loved.


looking for a word that describes what i'm feeling,

struggling to communicate my thoughts,

trying to write it all down, succeeding -

but never being listened to.
