Wanting and waiting, something, anything. A spark is all I ask. But my mind is spinning, just too fast. I can't let go to pick up a pen. It slows, but I'm too dizzy to see the page. It stops, but I can't seem to move. So I sit and take a breath, and then it starts again. "World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

Yeah, writers block is really crappy when it isn't just you're writting, but your entire life rather. And that is exactly what it is like. -GIS Doing the same thing a million times in a row will definitely affect your head. Read and pratice and read and pratice and read and prati........ead a |

I was on a roll for a few days, that was when "Voices" and "Worthless Girl" were penned, I'm afraid to try again, because I know it won't be as good, since my feelings seem repetative and the block is back. Good poem! Hollow. CK. |

Oh I know, I have a habit of throwing all my recent writes away because I wrote one, and it was my masterpiece, and I feel like all I do after is so pointless because I'll never do as well again, but at the age of fifteen I hope this is just teen angst speaking. See, this poem wasn't actually about writers block in the "I can't write anything" sense. I always use the phrase "Artists' bane" because my poetry tends to be dark (even if lately I'm leaning toward that angst whiny thing) and I can never seem to accurately describe a situation or emotion unless I've lived it, and to do that with dark poetry obviously there has to be dark moments, so I have to live in a little bit of misery for a little while to get the best stuff. Not that my life is bad, mind you, but that's when I write my best pieces. And there are times when things get overwhelming and I can't seem to make myself function at all, like I'm sleep walking, and that's when my life tends to go to hell as it were. That's what I was trying to spell out. Whether it worked or not is up to debate, I think this one was just too forced. |
