i've sat here awhile just trying to write thinking of things to inspire me at 19 i wrote with such rage and yet by 21 depression then when cobain died i took a 2 year ride now i have a wife and a son i'm thankful of course best part of my life but i've wrote barely a word since i first met my wife some love letters - sure but nothing for me so i've sat here awhile but the words won't come free so i drift back in time looking for my inspiration trying to remember those nights a cycle of depression/frustration my mind wanders off it asks "if i was ten would i give it all up and start over again?" no more bad memories and no one to blame i think of a life with never a shame i'd not make the mistakes of sorrow and strife but give up the good to get the bad from my life? i think right away of my incredible wife... ...what was i saying about pain in my life?

How many of us would give up the good things we have now to change the past?? Don't live in the past, live for the future. Great writing "shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" Killer222 :) |

This is awesome....I used to write as a moody teen and then got married had children and stopped...only when I joined here did I find my pen again.... and as for giving up the pain...yep often wished that too, but then I wouldn't be who I am now...don't know if that is a good thing or not  Great writing...beatiful tribute to the love of your wife too...taking all the pain away~ |

Tony, I can relate to this well as I'm sure others will. I stopped writing for 15 years, life overtook me and I just didn't feel the need to write. But when I reached a pivital point in life, I started again, now I'm determined not to let anything stop me. I find a time of day and write at the same time every day. Sometimes its good, sometimes lousy, but let it all pour onto paper. Corinne |

T Mcoy I too can relate to this poem. I used to write when I was in high school.. but then the words just stopped coming. A few months ago I started again and I couldn't be more thankful. Wonderful writing once again. I am quickly becoming a fan  rosepetals25 |

You have an incredible wife...thats super.  Try writing about how she makes you feel, just to look at her. Or write about the seasons and how thankful you are that she is there. Or maybe your muse is on vacation, like with a lot of us. You may want to put your pen behind your ear and not worry about it until the muse strikes. Good luck!  Oh....and yes, I do have a gentle opinion on everything. ROTF!!! Gossamerwings ;) |

I can't relate to the writing part, but I can sure relate to the ups and downs. Perhaps you can't write (although you just did!) because life is good to you right now. You have a great wife, that's all that counts Liked this poem Liz |

Tony, we've all been there...when you're in the mood and have the sneaky little urging to write, write...hop over to Challenges Forum and you'll be sure to see something that will plant a seed and BINGO you'll have stuff flowing from your pen like never before... WELCOME to Passions! Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
