The Blank Page

I rewrite this so many times, I never know if I make it right.

I stare at the blank page,

Hoping to write something.

I look around my room,

So grey,

So dull,

So lifeless.

A single tear falls from my eye,

Sliding down my cheek.

Anger wells up inside me,

Why can't I write?

The pages are where you are supposed to let go,

Why can't I let it out?

What do you think? I know it's not great, so please give me tips and such.

I'm always surprised about how much people down their own work. The only way to make it great is to accept it as your own. This poem is really good, I just wish you had the confidence to accept the fact that you wrote such a stunning piece. Less can be more. In this case, it is.

Thanks so much, but I don't really know. I haven't shown much of my writings to people, so I wouldn't know if I'm "talented" or not. But anyway, thanks! :D

You must pay attention to the real world around you. Natalie Goldberg is a great writer who has written several books about Writing...

This is quite good, U have amazing talent. U just need to think of what is in ur heart, what makes ur feelings, sad, mad, upset, angry. Just write how u feel. -Hope this helps-

Thank you! This helps me so much and relieves me of stress. "Just write how u feel", some of the best words of advice I've ever been given! Thank you!

Glad I could help, any time.

I thought this was very interesting. We all have times like this...but not all of us are creative enough to write about these times. I thought it was a very good way to make a head start. One suggestion I have is to put more of that five senses thing into it. Hear, smell, see, taste, etc. I thought you did a good job doing exactly that while talking about grey and dull. Very interesting way to see boredom and distress. Personifying emotions, etc. is a very interesting way to write:)
