I haven't let emotions or thoughts flow out of my system,
I've just been holding **** in
And as a result
I am now emotionally, and mentally clogged
And that's just blocking any progress or productivity of my inner self.
Writing has even become so difficult to accomplish.

i-

well,
      ****.
i can't write things lately. it hurts my brain too much i suppose

You told me to write about
what scares me.

At first I thought, well, everything scares me.
That sense of endless possibilities is what caused my writers block
in the first place.

Sorry.

Further down the road, my depressive nihilism kicked in.
Nothing can scare me,
and nothing really matters.
It's the illusion of life
pointing its big, daunting finger
and laughing.

When I finally hit both ends of this,
felt everything and nothing,
it hurt somewhat, yes, but-
I began to write.

Now my words reflect
everything I feel and don't feel,
everything that is and isn't.
Now, I take everything that passes through me
and make it into something else,
something completely new.

In this moment,
I have complete control over my little universe.
There is a world out here,
more vibrant than I ever imagined.

So thanks for that.

What is this? a cluttered room? No, it can’t be.
No space for growth or challenges.
Nothing but books and scraps of scrunched paper failings.
What are you? Myself? is this idiocy I am looking through.
How can you call yourself a mind, a vision, a sound worth hearing.

Listen to me, read carefully and feel my touch.
I am behind you, and within you.
No, you’re not getting it. Look around, you’re alone...I hope.
Oh, of course. No! it’s not sweat on your cheek, it’s me.
I came closer, I tried to stop shouting. I leant in for a closer smell on what you’re thinking.
What I’m thinking? you and I are the same you know.

Excuse me? I said excuse me.
Did you stop listening? did you seriously fall off track to what I’ve been saying this whole time.
Go back, take one more look.
No no no, not what I’ve wrote down for you to look at later incase you forget.
Remember, what did I say earlier. Oh, yes, there it is.
Realisation is your fault. You drift in and out don’t you.

That’s where I came from, you fell from your own line so much that I was left on the curve.
Hello, I am you.
When you throw away that amazing idea on the torn paper.
You put down your dream, why did you do that? why.
Honestly, I’m sad. I can be the nicest guy you’ll ever meet,
but trust me, I can be the worst.
and we are stuck together.
Unless you release me.
Write me. Be me.
You are too great for me to share your mind.

Please. Run.
This is a simple look at to what writer's block does to me.

I want to use all the alterations, Personifications in the world to impress you.
I want to drive you insane with the oxymorons, the metaphors and the similes.
I want to use coliqual words so that I can make you think I'm extremely smart.
When really in reality I'm just average.
I want to use euphemism and lititoes to really make you think I'm that good with words.
When really in reality I have writers block yet I want to capture your attention.
I want to write an iambic tetrameter with the rhyme scheme ABAB so that you notice some part of me in my writing.
I want my words to ****** with your mind so that some part of you thinks about me...
But I have writers block, There's not much I can do to grab your attention.
If only my mind wasn't blank... brrrrrrr

Sometimes I create my own
Writer's block;
It sounds ****** up,
Dozens of us at any given
Moment
Genuinely searching for
Any single word at all,
And here I am,
Wishing my words away,
Creating every writer's
Nightmare
Simply because I'm a
*******
Coward,
Too scared to pick up
My fresh black ballpoint pen
And put it to my
Worn out notebook
Because I'm too
Scared to feel
The dark, painful,
Scary things I know
Will come in the
Free flow of my
Disturbing verses...
So yeah, I'm
That *******,
Creating writer's block
For myself
So I don't have to
Let it all go.

****, that's lame.

There are moments
When nothing
Is the key
To getting back to everything
Ena Alysopriono Dec 2014
My eyes glance down at the empty page
No words come to me
My hands shake
I can't disappoint
But I have no inspiration
The light bulb is dark above my head
I can't think
I can't write
Until I am again
Inspired
Writer's block.
Jellyfish Nov 2014
I want to write so badly,
About so many things.
But my mind just shuts the door sometimes,
It's decided to hide my ideas from me!
