Do you have food on your plate?
Do you have clothes on your skin?
Are your decisions left to fate?
Do you fear the life you're in?
Do you speak your loudest thoughts?
Do you have books to read?
Do you even know the alphabet?
Are you always left to bleed?
Do you hide to pray at night?
Are beaten to your flesh?
Do you rub your skin white?
Do you have the freedom to express?
Many questions you ask ..
Many answers you seek ..
But it has always been one question ..
Is this humanity you see?
Do you have clothes on your skin?
Are your decisions left to fate?
Do you fear the life you're in?
Do you speak your loudest thoughts?
Do you have books to read?
Do you even know the alphabet?
Are you always left to bleed?
Do you hide to pray at night?
Are beaten to your flesh?
Do you rub your skin white?
Do you have the freedom to express?
Many questions you ask ..
Many answers you seek ..
But it has always been one question ..
Is this humanity you see?
I've been suffering from a severe writer's block the past three months. It's starting to worry me, but I'm glad I've been spending more time practicing my music as an alternative form of expression.
I wrote this piece a while ago. I thought sharing something old would hopefully get me back into my writing mindset.
I'm grateful for Hello Poetry and the patience it has as we all go through our phases of evolving as writers, or even our phases of writer's block from time to time.
Much love, Em.
P.S. Would love your advice on resolving a writer's block **
