Iron Sponge

Mathematical figures

Mismatched socks

Fur balls

The thick hair on a black girl’s skull

A point but no point 

Mushy thoughts

An amateur swimmer in an ocean 

In the middle of Sahara with no water

Do you get it? That’s writer’s block

Brain like an iron sponge

Twisted in sharp turns 

Tried to divide and got a cut 

Do you get it?

Brain like mathematical figures

B.O.D.M.A.S

Ooops! Calculator got spoilt

Don’t understand maths

Do you get it?

Brain like mismatched socks

The search for the other half 

Can’t find the exact words to pair

Do you get it?

Brain like fur balls

Too thick to unravel

Complex thoughts 

A messy round ball in my head

Do you get it?

Brain like the thick hair on a black girls skull

Tried combing it and my pen got stuck

Fingers crossed on next times luck

Do you get it?

Did you get it? That’s writers block

A writer’s war with words

Feels hard like an iron sponge

Feels blank like my knowledge in maths

Feels lost like the other pair of my socks

Feels complex like a cat’s fur ball

Feels difficult like the thick hair on her skull
