Blocking and barricades

Writers block messes with a writer so bad sometimes.

I look at myself from above,

an out of body experience,

I am sitting there staring at the screen,

The little bar is flicking and my hands aren't moving,

The music is swooning,

The time keeps moving,

And I,

I am standing still,

I cannot think,

I cannot write,

I do not know what lay ahead,

A journey I am not rady to make,

No one seeing me to a finish line,

No finish line coming near,

Just empty pages waiting to be fulfilled.

I don't understand it,

I swear that I had it,

Swear that my dream was within arms reach,

Laying on my fingertips waiting to be grasped,

And now it seems so far away,

Not even my own possibility anymore,

It was ruined,

Killed,

Abolished,

I am no longer like myself,

I can no longer sit there and write my soul for hours at a time,

Now I am bound to a prison,

A mental prison where I am held hostage,

It is where I am tortured until I lose myself bit by bit,

Until I love myself less and less,

Until I am no loger the person I thought I was meant to be,

A writer no more,

No poet,

No nobel story left to hold,

Nothingness,

It's my blocking and barricade.

Go for a walk! I must say if I am feeling down in the dumps trying to write anything a good walk always seems to put things into perspective. Usually forcing yourself to write isn't the answer, the flow will come you just need to give it time. What better way, then a nice peaceful walk. Just take everything in around you but don't write anything until you get back. Just think of everything you see and feel and hopefully by the time you get back to your computer you will realize just how many things you have to write about. Hope my advice helps, I know that writing is different for everyone, but the fact that you posted this on here kinda makes me suspicious that you may be looking for some advice!

With that said, best of luck to you!
