Stuck

Each poem

each message

deleted

one

after

the other.

The words don't flow freely anymore,

now slow and sticky

not flying out my fingers in their regular way.

I can't make it work

I'm not passionate enough

I already have writer's block,

now this?

I need to let it out somehow

and I found an exit through poetry

but if I can't write poetry anymore

if I can't summon the emotions

how will I get it out?

  • Drowning in the unknown

    I am tormented by slight movements

    even silence is hurting me

    reality seems to be strobing

    or something like it -

    I've yet to learn how to explain these moments to others,

    even myself.

    It's not normal,

  • Anticipation

    This is the worst kind of anticipation

    this anticipation isn't just fear of what is to come

    it's laced around the edges with knowledge of how it went last time

    of how a repeat of last year is most likely inevitable.

  • Dear Musketeers,

    You two have entered my life at different times

    yet you both mean the world to me

    I dread separation -

    the battle between boredom and loneliness cancels out everything else and I miss your everyday comments on the world
