I Hate It

I hate it when I can't write
when every word is a struggle
every emotion a mountain I can't climb.

I hate it when I can feel it
right there, so close
but when I try to set it to words
it's gone.

I hate it when I wake up
in the dark of night with the words
burning in my mind yet still
still they won't kiss the paper.

I hate it...
the ache of it...
the need...
to put one word...
just... one... word.

I hate it.

Ehhh . . . I think you found some pretty creative words for the paper with this poem, Paula. And it sounded very good to me.

~*~ In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem. ~*~

Thanks for the replies. The point of the poem Loveabounds is that I cant find the words, much less more clever ones. Life has this ugly way of squashing my little attempts at writing anymore...
