odds & ends: damn all these words

have you ever had that sudden rush of overwhelming amount of thoughts and feelings and you couldn't get it out? as soon as you pick up a pen to write them down, nothing comes out and start staring at a blank page tapping your pen rapidly? and/or just as soon as you place your fingers on the keyboard to start typing, you end up finding yourself staring at a blank screen and a blinking cursor?

i tried to write today, but i couldn't get anything down, yet i had all these ideas, thoughts and feelings i wanted to express by writing down.  the words words simply wouldn't come out to the point of frustration. as if there was a bottleneck jam of all these words trying to come out all at the same time.  BUT instead of packing it up and putting away my composition notebook, i manage to pick up a piece of scratch paper and free flow and chicken scratch about it to at least salvage something out of my coconut shell. AND it reads and goes something like these -- 

damn all these words
it is leaving me blank
and speechless
all i want to do is reveal them
i can't get it written down
i can't get it all out 
i want to scream it and shout
all these thoughts and feelings
i feel like i'm gonna drown
i can't put them into words
so that you can see them 
read them
in hopes you can feel them
but i can't set them free
these damn words
it's actually bigger than they are
damn all these words
it means more than they are 
it's about you
my only light
my shining star
