like I would hold a pen.
Everytime
that I go to write
I just keep cutting the paper.

alilove10I really enjoyed your poem because of how you broke it up and how you start with a simile that turns into the implied metaphor of the second part. There are two simple parts to this poem, but it makes for a powerful image. Love it. I get that sense of frusteration.
