Artist Block

What is this thing called: "artist block?"

And does it come from lesser stock?

Is it a fugue I simply cure?

Is it from here or where YOU were?

Is it a malady of mind?

Is it a plague the lepers find?

Is it a beast that preys on fear?

And...is that why it can't touch me, here?

Is it superstitious and obscene?

Is it something that remains unseen?

Is it terror only fools embrace?

Is it rage and jealousy you face?

What is this thing called: "artist block?"

And why does it leave your talent locked?

Why is it something I can't see,

Leaving only MY mind free?
