Description
The words get stuck
Deep inside.
I need to free them
To release them
from the inner torture
of my soul
They lust for light,
for life.
They need to shine
and to guide me
back from the dark
from depression
from the lassitude of life.
I scream.
Long
Loud
but no one hears.
Even if they did,
they could not help.
It must be my choice
My decision
to climb out
of the pit of lethargy.
I grit my teeth.
I shake my head
Dizzyness knocks me sideways
And I see from a new perspective.
I see crevices and cracks.
Footholds to climb out,
Upwards.
Higher
towards the luminance
of the stars.
It is still dark
But the stellar specks
give me hope.
I sigh
Peacefully.

Your play with hope and despair and the gruesome upward climb is incredible - what a way with words!

How can one have writer's block when such an exsquite poem has been created? It appears that you have written ON the writer's block. Love it! Raw,edgy and powerful.

Thank you for your comments all. It took this poem to get out of the writers block stage. I was merciless and just churned out word after word until it began to flow again.... :o)

Writers block is easy to get rid of... You just have to do something that changes your mood. Some music, or just taking a walk outside might help. It's a lot harder to get rid of suicidal depression, which I think has a lot in common with writers block, only that it is maaany times stronger.

I just write about what pops up in my goofy brain. Never had writer's block, to the great chagrin of MANY. WINK. HANG TOUGH, dear lady! Superb work!! My best, T.P.
