I have tried

to start

and restart

and rewrite

so many poems

in one night.

 

It's frustrating.

Where did my flow go?

Where is my rhythm?

What happened?

What's stopping me?

 

It can't be my sadness

I'm always sad.

 

I'm not happy

so that can't be it.

 

I'm angry

but I generally am.

 

What can I do?

Post this?

This mess?

 

It makes no sense

I'm just rambling

But isn't that the point?

 

I write everything I feel

Type it as soon as it pops up

Rarely go back and check.

 

But this?

This is crap.

This is worthless.

 

Is this writer's block?

Is this how it feels?

Really?

 

This is the frustration

that everyone talks about?

 

This happened with my stories

and never picked them back up.

 

Does this mean

that my poetry is drying up?

 

Does this mean

that this is my last poem?

 

This piece of crap

that makes no sense?

 

This rambling mess

of a poem?

 

I can only hope not.

What do I turn to next?

 

I dropped music

short stories

now poetry?

 

What do I do?

What can I turn to?

Besides emptiness...
