Mental Block

I wrote this while having trouble writing another poem, which makes little sense.

Mental block,

please stop,

clouding up my head.

I've yet to say,

my thoughts today,

I've been quiet instead.

I've you to blame,

my mental block,

for clouding up my brain.

You kill my words,

I fight the urge,

Oh, but you still remain.

What a wonderful poem. It's short and sweet, and it succinctly conveys the frustration and dejection we feel because of this horrible affliction. Isn't it strange that, even when we can't "write", we can still write about this? I don't know if it's the same way with others, but I've done the same thing myself. It boggles my mind.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I agree, I've done it many times. I start one poem, become stumped, then start and finish a completely different poem. Strange to think that with one thing being difficult to finish, something new comes of it. Thanks again.

youre not a true writer until youve suffered this and overcome it. next time it happens to me, im going to try this! nicely done

[Kelsey]

Mental blocks are the worst, aren't they? Just keep surrounding yourself with what inspires and influences you. That's what I do. If you aren't in an encouraging environment, then make one. Keep up the good work.

Cheers!

Oh my, you're not kidding! I found it ironic that while I was having trouble with another poem, I ended up writing this one. Thank you!

The old mental block, happens to the best of us. But you beat it, overcame it, wrote this great and short poem. Loved it! You are a true author.

I've been having one of these myself. Very true words.

[Kelsey]

It seems to be one of my relatable ones. It's such a frustrating thing, but strange to be able to write about it. Thank you for your review.

Something I think every writer can relate to. I love the simple, easy flow of this.

I like the rhythm of this poem, it feels to me like time ticking away while the writers waits for inspiration
