It is the most frustrating feeling, EVER!

Full of things to say

Must write it down

Must get it out

Stuck on the first letter

In the first line

Must keep going

Must work through it

Read around for inspiration

Someone help me free my words

My mind is full of things

Things....come on

Think of the word

Write it down

Letters caged inside my mind

The sound of their dancing

Threatens my sanity

It's crippling

The pain is unbearable

Need to find a way to connect

Silently screaming

No one hears me

No one’s heard me for a while

Author's Note

I'm trying to work through my writer block.

I love this poem; it expresses everything i have felt unable to articulate.
Should the 9th line be - 'Someone help (me) free my words' ?
apostrophe - 'it's crippling'
The fragmentation is perfect and the concept irrepresible - when writer's block looms, write about it! That's the spirit. I hope you're back in your zone. I've been detached from mine for too long as well:)

Thank you for point out my mistakes, I will fix them right away :)
Aaaaah, writers block the bane of every writer’s existence. I hope your case is not severe and that it passes soon. I appreciate your time and your kind comments.

Ah...writer's block...something I've been dealing with myself for a couple of months - never thought it would happen to me. You are heard, Mia, just don't know how I can help you.

[Mia]

Thank you for hearing me, I suppose we just have to work through it and hope for a breakthrough.

Awesome write...this is exactly what it feels like when I have a thought stuck in my head but I can't put it into words; that helplessness is pretty crushing. This one's going into my favorites. Awesome work!!

[Mia]

Your kind comments are overwhelming! Many many many thank yous!

[Kriss_Rose]

Ah writers block. Well it sucks. I do find if I jut push on through and if that doesn't work; take a breath and leave it be. Good luck and a great poem! :)

[Mia]

Thank you :)
It has long since past, thank goodness!

This is the best way to get through a writer's block. Write a poem about a writer's block. Trust me - I know the feeling! You've described it well. I like it a lot. The reader can actually feel that frustration in this poem. A write well done.

[Hester Vane]

This is a great expression through writers block! Great use of language which is clever and clear. Great piece!

[Mia]

Thank you :) I appreciate you taking the time to read this and I am grateful for your kind comments

[Chad LaPierre]

I enjoyed reading this poem. The last line in particular struck a chord with me. Writer's block is the absolute worst.

[Mia]

Agreed! Thank you for your time and comments.

I think this was a great way to work through it. I can feel your frustration. For me, it's a vicious circle I get caught in.... I can't think of what to write, I sort of panic, and that freezes the writer in me even more, and it just keeps going until I walk away.

Wish I had some advice, but I have not ever found a cure other than to just keep trying.

[Mia]

Thank you, Mark. It didn't last long this time. Thank goodness. I think I was more overwhelmed by the talent on here. I was feeling slightly inadequate. I got over that, I think.

[Mark]

That's good, because you are as talented as anyone else I've read here. :) We all have our own styles; our own voices and yours is wonderful.

[Mia]

Thank you, thank you...a thousand times thank you :D

[Southern Cross]

Ahh as I am too..This poem hits close to home and I have spoken these same words inside my head for weeks now...Just love this and how you have even written such a piece about the horrid "block"..Talent even in the silence of the pen

[Mia]

You are too kind and I will gladly accept it :)
Thank you

[TheJordBaker]

I love what you've done here, making art out of a struggle, a struggle which frustrates us all. I really enjoyed reading this, nicely done :)

[Mia]

Thank you :)

[The Refined Poet]

this is a great poem. any writer can definitely relate. But a sign of a true poet is that silence becomes the muse.... excellent

[Mia]

Thank you kind poet!
