Oh hello old friend,
Long time no see.
Are you here to inspire me?
You left me locked in an empty cage
You didn’t listen to a single plea.
“I should be writing”
I tell myself
With an empty mind…
I should be writing,
but I’ve gathered
Aren't these things supposed to flow naturally?
Shouldn't I just be able to pour my feelings out into my writing?
Write eloquent, tearjerking stories
and just
get it all out
Why can't I?
Writer's block is a painful endeavor.
So bad it makes me question my creativity and if a spark of it existed ever.
If only there was a magic pill or convenient mushroom
sitting around waiting to be consumed.
Dear Kayla,
I can’t make you
walk on flower trails.
I can’t force you
to see only the good things.
To promise you
Dear Writer's Block,
I tried to write a song today,
but something got in the way.
Was it you?
You decided to show up again
I thought I told you we're not even friends
Yes, what I said was true.
We fought day and night,
But he never followed the rules.
He knew how to wear me down,
But I won this war.
He wears different masks
But he is one and the same- a distraction.
I can't think of anything...
Writers Block.
I hate it.
A big huge wall were your mind stops thinking and you are staring a little bar on your computer screen.
The worst is when you are writing a paper.
When I was eleven, I knew what I was going to do and how I was going to get there.
I wrote because the world looked better through my eyes.
Dance and writing are my outlets.
The two things that make me the happiest.
Two things I don't do nearly enough of.
Maybe that's why I feel sad, stuck,
Like something's pent-up, caged,
Because they are.
I sit and write, and I'm writing now.
I listen to my mother howl,
I watch my brother sulk and scowl,
I hear my cat scamper and prowl.
I sit and write, and am writing now.
I sit and write, and take a pause.
My brother was forced from home
I tried to ask, "why?"
The seeds of our love were sown
I received no reply

N E E D I N S P I R A T I O N . . . . .
My brain is melting right now .
Wandering in a wood of shelves and books,
Over litter, leaves fallen and gone
From branches of minds the winds of time shook,
For one page that remains empty as dawn,
A sheet virgin white upon which to write
It’s all up to me, no parameters on what I need to say.
I blank, ‘oh shit what am I gonna say?!’
So I look at other poems,
How they engage a reader,
Empower a reader,
Inspire a reader,
Make you laugh,
Its a sad poem with no title. I did it today.
I never wanted it to be like this
Was it an accident?
Was it life giving me a sign?
A pen that flows
Is a pen that knows
What it wants
And where to go
But when it stops
It gets stuck
Like myself
In a rut
There are things
That I could write
But none of my words
