I Cannot Write This Poem

Freedom was the roadblock
I was locked
into a game of poke and prompt.

Then she said:
“write anything you want”
(or words to that effect).

The specs
were simple and clear,
but fear
took all the words, all the ideas

I had no instructions on what to do
none given for me to adhere to.

Two months gone by, so dumb -
but I cannot write this poem.
