Some poets have muses
they have inspiration
that wells up inside
and gives them something to write
Some poets have great emotions
boiling up,
overwhelming their thoughts
until they have to take action
their words teeming with feeling
Some poets have experience
their knowledge and wisdom
flow with what they've been through
and they take you on a journey
as they enlighten you
on their life
But me?
Lately my pen and paper
have been left untouched,
neglected.
It's not like I have writer's block,
I have writer's uncertainty.
It's not that I have nothing to write,
I'm just not sure
if I want to take a long look
inside myself
and write about something
deep
dark
and dangerous
that I've kept within.
