The brick wall of writting

The brick wall of writting

A Poem by Amanda J Hopwood

Reality escapes me

Imagination fails me

The story does not unfold before me

The great brick wall

That blocks my vision

Is corrupting my mood

And interfering in my dreams

My peers don’t see me

Strangers can’t feel me

I am determined

To see this through

I strain my eyes

On the screens strange hue

The life I long to bring

Is dying before first breath

The world I have created

Has collapsed under the strain

Staring blankly I begin to ponder

If the task I have undertaken

Is just to demanding.

Is it writer's block ? or once you started you keeps on going.

Poets and writers share such walls. Catch your breath. You'll be ok. Life can be too demanding sometimes, but we find ways to cope as only we can.

You have overcome.
The brick wall could not stop you to reveal your talent.
The story finally broke through the great brick wall.
Enjoyed the lovely work.

You are welcome.:)
What a fantastic piece. I loved how you use phrases without concentrating on rhyming, it was so smooth and easy to read. I still captured the emotion underneath it and this helped on an entertaining level. Good write!!
