get lost

Looking for a muse

Something to keep me going

I'm getting so confused

And in my poetry it's showing

My latest have kind of sucked

It's okay to admit

And I'll pretty soon be fucked

If I can't get it fixed

I have a mind full of words

And a heart full of feelings

But together it just hurts

I'm about to hit the ceiling

I don't know where it went

I can't find my inspiration

The only thing I've dreamt 

Is of my own irritation

Nothings terribly right

And nothing's terribly wrong

I just can't figure out my life

And I've nothing to write on

So what's a teenage poet to do

When the only thing she wants

Is to write her poetry and not be confused

And even wishes like that tend to get lost

There is always something to write about. If anything at all throught the day leaves a lasting impression you, write it down. It will help lots. Also you dont always have to write from your pain or happiness. Try writing something silly, it will give you some laughs, and the block will be released. This will lead to many great poems that I am looking forward to reading. :)

THank you

this is what i feel this very moment and this poem just speak my mind

[KAOlmsted]

It is the sweetest irony, writing a great piece about writer's block. You did a good job writing through it. Great stuff.

[Annabelle Lee]

thank you!

[KAOlmsted]

Always.

well let me tell you something, teenage poet
this one is far from "sucked" this poem is really really amazing!
it treats writer's block with such reality, believe me girl i know what you mean, i've been there, but let me just tell you something, it goes away and the muse comes eventually every single time :)
great poem!

[Annabelle Lee]

thank you!!!

[Frieda P]

Apparently you've moved past it since you've written this...we all get into that slump on occasion. Pen on Annabelle...

[Annabelle Lee]

thank you

The words are there, you know they are, you just can't catch them and cast them out. It's not fun when it happens but your creative juices will run and the block will walk away. This too shall pass.

[Annabelle Lee]

thank you

[Baby Ricochet]

Nice rhyme and meter Annabelle. My computer is full of half assed rymes and limericks from going through the same thing. I'm sure there's writers on the WC who think everything I write is half assed but screw them. You know this is a good poem so at least for this one you broke out of writers block.

[Annabelle Lee]

haha, thanks, Ricochet. and even if they're half assed theyre always fun to read

[quinfinn]

what you're referring to herein is writer's block or slump. it happens to the best of us. nothing to worry about...your muse will return!

[Annabelle Lee]

I sure hope so
