I don’t know

Caring dove

Why do I not feel like writing 

why do I feel like the me that wants to write is over 

somewhere 

maybe I’m tired 

maybe I don’t know how to

anymore 

maybe I just feel like the person who used to like writing 

just isn’t here anymore 

 

what do I write about nature 

I’ve done that a lot before 

do I try writing about similar things again 

il probably end up writing the same kind of thing 

 

and what’s the point of writing if I’m just going to feel disconnected from what I’m writing 

and I feel distant 

what’s the point 

I don’t know 

anymore

    When the muse goes on vacation there is the question of what can we write about. Don't worry she will be back before you know it. Nicely done

    Writers block. We all know it well. You will find your spark again, I am sure of it.

      Thankyou .. I have tried a few a few weeks ago but I couldn’t feel connected enoigh to what I was writing and I just felt distant so I kind of sometimes don’t see the point of doing that . And yeah sometimes I’m simply stuck don’t know what to write about .. or even feel like I just can’t that well anymore

      Caring Dove, this is quiet vulnerability. The questions loop naturally…no forced drama, just truth. “maybe I don’t know how to / anymore” feels like the center of it. And closing on “anymore” lets the uncertainty breathe. Honest and brave, as always, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        Thankyou .. I feel I am a honest person , yes .. thanks for the kind words . I tried writing a poem few weeks back , just didn’t feel I could get much from writing and I felt distant .

          Most welcome, my friend. I can tell you are, that very much comes through in your writing. Self-reflective, aware, compassionate, and honest. All of those come through your writing. Sorry to hear dissociation was affecting your writing, but I certainly understand the reality of that. Mental health, right? It both fuels and stalls. The same is true for me. Anywho, well done, my friend. I really appreciate your poetry and getting to engage in conversation too. 😊

          It will come back Yellow Rose, it does happen to all sometimes.

          You must write,
          You must record,
          You must preserve,
          Lose not heart,
          It is a sacred act,
          Never give up,
          Best of luck !

            Thankyou for the kind words
