What's a writer with writer's block?
Who's a poet without inspiration?
What's an artist without a muse?
Nothing.
Once greats who could compose symphonies with their minds
Now without the ability to create beauty
Nothing sadder in the world...

May you never be the cause of your pain

I need someone, something, anything to come fix my soul
It’s dark in here...
Please

When our bones are aching
And our bodies are tired
And we've said all that can be said
I'll roll over to your side of the bed
And hug you in utter silence
And give a sweet smile
As you envelope me in utter silence
Until we disappear into dust
And become lost in time
And our love story, a legend for generations to tell.
My kind of love story

She
She is not like everyone else.
She doesn't care what she looks like
She doesn't care if she's perfect
Because she knows she isn't
She knows she will never fit in
She knows she will always be weird
She is the KING amongst queens
She is the girl who never saw her own beauty
But wished she could gaze upon herself like you glare at her
She will never be '****'
She will never be 'pretty'
She will never be 'girly'
But she will be her
And somehow, 'her' was enough.
I never write poems about myself but I decided to, so this is kinda what I think of me. So every time you see 'she', put 'I', maybe you'll find yourself in the poem too.

Not all poems are sad
Not all poets are depressed
Maybe poets are just a little too happy to think about writing
Until they are alone in a dark place and have no escape but writing*.

Death-throws
A poet dies not when he looses the will to live
But when he looses the will to write
