The Blinking Cursor
For days now, it’s been just me,
This blank page and a blinking cursor—
A quiet space where words hide
And emotions whisper, waiting to be heard.
Inside, a storm of feelings churns,
Locked away, heavy and unseen,
Yearning to spill out in honest lines
Yet not knowing where to begin.
I stare at the empty screen,
Hoping for a spark, a sign,
To break this silence with a single word
And set my restless heart alight.
