My Writing Fears

I used to love writing.

I enjoyed it so much.

I'm having writer's block.

Every day I wrote poems or stories and posted them.

I'm out of ideas and scared to write some things.

After seeing a lot of writers and authors getting attacked for what they write or getting attacked for no reason. I'm now scared to write or become an author.

This world has gotten out of hand.

There are opinions I want to write and post about, but can't or shouldn't.

I don't want to get attacked.

No one can post their opinions anymore and say what we really want to say.

It sucks that the world is like this now.

It'll never get fixed or better. It's just going to get worse.

I would pray, but I'm not really religious anymore.

I might not write as much anymore.

I miss writing, but I'm having a hard time expressing myself, coming up with poems, and I'm scared to post anything anymore.

I always wanted to be an author. I actually have tons of stories I came up with years ago laying around. I even have a few poems I came up with years ago that I haven't posted.

Some day or some time I might come up with a really nice poem of love or family or something that won't offend anybody.

Someday I might decide to post my poems and stories and share them with you all.

Some day I might feel comfortable posting them.

Wish me luck everyone!!!

Good luck! I understand the dread of having writers block, nothing fruitful comes to mind, and even if something bold manifests itself, how do we word it and phrase it so that our poetry does not offend other people? Sometimes it feels as if our world has become so enthralled into cancel culture online, shaming celebrities and political figures for things that aren't socially acceptable. Yes it's important to hold people accountable, but then where does it lead us? The world is going down some rabbit hole where anything said can be taken in the wrong way. Just saying something like "my favorite colour is black, it's the colour of my soul" could rub people the wrong way. In some ways writers block could be attributed to the fear of putting different opinions out there as well. Thanks for sharing Anmarie!
