Suffer

He says
I have
to stop
writing

My artist
hands are
cramping

But you
have to
suffer for
your art

So feel
the burn
and ache
of poetic
creation

By Samantha Campbell

Every writer executes at their own pace. But remember, poetry is all around you to write about :)

Good job with this piece. It's a great tribute to him. :)

Dear Virginpoet,

Let me put some things into perspective.

1. Steve

- Intellectual
- Sweet
- Emotional

2. Girl

- Mean
- Chaotic
- Facade

haha My apologies. I am currently going through the same thing so I get personal.

Lovely inspiration, Virginpoet!

p.s. Remember to stay pure of heart.

The sweet suffering of writing. (: really good, I love the "So Feel the burn and ache of poetic creation."
passion and pain coexisting with each other to create a masterpiece.

No pain, no gain.. "...you have to suffer for your art..." How true sometimes.

I have went through this many times, but when my mind has the ideas, I push myself to keep writing even when my hand hurts.

I have been there. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Get a recorder and just speak your mind into it. It is not as tactual but it will get your thoughts out of your head. I need the physical touch of the pen so I can understand the dilemma.
