Wounded Pen

Sometimes 
My blood gets 
Frozen,
Skin turns thick.
Mind goes blank,
Pain becomes 
Illiquid. 

Empty walls 
Stare,
Blank papers 
Mock.

Solitude turns 
Into a mirror.
My reflection, 
A failed 
Literature.

I keep stabbing
Myself to make 
My pen bleed.
Ink-trails are 
The only way out
It seems.

Wounds are 
Portals to
Freedom,
When the soul
Does freeze.

Quill is the key.
And the bird that
Flies away is,

A poem indeed.
