No More Rhyme - Diane Scantlebury

I lay restless in my bed
Words battling and jostling
Inside my head
Until I leap up
In sleepy rage
To let them tumble
Onto this page
So many words
So much to say
Get them all written down
Before they fade away
Eyes half awake and blurry
Hard to see
Now there is no more rhyme
Left in me
