Do you know why you’re here?

Have you figured it out?

Are your questions unanswered?

Do you cry through the night?

Do your tears melt the paper?

Are the edges all torn?

Rest your head on the table

Screw up in a ball

 

Write away, write away

With pencils and circles, scissors and rage, write away

Write away, write away

With pencils and circles, scissors and rage, write away

 

There are problems to solve

Mistakes still to make

Turn off the screen

Turn down the light

It’s not time to be thinking

We still have the night

I know why I’m here

You’re about to take flight

 

Write away, write away

With pencils and circles, scissors and rage, write away

Write away, write away

With pencils and circles, scissors and rage, write away

Can't put my finger on what it is exactly, but I do really like this one.
Have you got music/a melody in your head too? Or just lyrics?
I would be very curious to see how this works out in song :)

I'm not sure if I like it or think it's terrible. I think I'd need to hear how it would go before I could decide whether these lyrics work or not.

So yeah, It's ok

Hi, this is quite cryptic (to me anyway)  Is it asking questions about existance or is it about waiting for inspiration to write or maybe even some anger and frustration regarding a relationship or perhaps sleeplessness (or all of the above) ... it certainly got me thinking ... what is the link between the pencils, circles, scissors and rage, maybe a 'Blue Peter' project gone wrong?  I like your poetry and questions but I'm uncertain about the message as yet.
