Writer's Block

by xoxShorteexox   Jul 11, 2013


Falling through the darkness,
no hope of anything breaking the fall,
drifting further into the loss of something dear,
no words, no sounds and no lyrics inside,
losing everything that once made me who I am,
searching for the light in an empty room,
screaming for the feelings to be let out,
wishing for the chance to express it all.

Never knew that skills could be lost,
so easily replaced with illiteracy,
losing the biggest part of myself,
when the words are given to someone else,
looking for that one outlet to set me free,
only finding the pieces of what talent left behind,
waiting for the chance to fly again,
with all the words that were once inside my head.

    First stanza- its wonderful how you start out this poem. Writers block can be like falling into nothing at all. Your metaphor for it is spot on I feel. You wording is so great though because every time we feel lost and confused we want to let our emotions out but sometimes we can't because its hard. You seem to really let go and blast this poem with every emotion yoj have and that is great. I see no flaws in the first stanza.

    Ending. We never feel like we lose our skill and when we do again we seem lost like a piece of us is missing.
    When we think about something its different then just writing it down. Its hard from my experience to write something tjats in your head. Sometimes the words get scrambled and then we get writers block. You describe your feelings so well though. I love this poem because we can all relate. 5

      Thank you; that was exactly what I was trying to rely to people. Nice to know that others pick up on that. (:
