Untitled Document
Christ, where do I even start?
I’m out of ideas, I guess
I can’t think of what to write, apart
From what I usually do, poems
And stories that don’t mean much to anyone
But myself, and that’s not really
Useful, is it?
Kind of like love, which tears people apart
What’s this thing in my chest?
Some people call it a “heart”
“A gift from God,” although I don’t really know ‘im
Usually gifts are nice, but this one ain’t any fun
Now this is getting kind of silly,
And comedy ain’t worth sh–
Hold on, I just had an idea
Why don’t I turn this “Untitled Document”
Into a poem?
Now back onto the topic of love,
What I meant is love doesn’t have any
Value to me, if the person I love doesn’t
Reciprocate it, and feel the same
Otherwise it’s just an anvil being dropped on my
Head, making me look like an idiot
For other peoples’ amusement
Or an iron attached to my
Leg slowing me down, and I can’t get rid of it
Although, I could try and use it
For my own advantage
Just take it to the lucking fake
And drop myself in,
Sink all the way down to the bottom
Wait a minute, I spelled that first line wrong
Well, if there’s a prize for “Most Creative Suicide Note”
I’m sure as Hell getting the Gold Medal
Or I could wait for someone to yell, “Don’t!”
But I think I’ve lost all my mettle
I’ll have my last words be:
“Either the gun goes, or I do;
The choice is up to you”
Which is funny, because no one will
Be there when I say them,
So who am I talking to?

This poem stemmed from over half of an hour spent staring at a blank Google Docs.
I’ve used the topic of writer’s block numerous times throughout my works, as it is something extremely relatable to all writers, and even to those who don’t write as a career or for a hobby. It appears a little free-verse, but if you pay attention you’ll notice some continuance in the rhyming-scheme. I think this poem is pretty self-explanatory, as well.
The man depicted in it is essentially writing his suicide-note, either because his love-life is terrible, or he has run out of ideas to write for a living. Perhaps he is just insane, in general, which would explain the sporadic nature of the poem.
