Inner Emotion

Inner Emotion

A Poem by Poetic Beauty
"

How do I begin to uncage this emotion?

"
How do I begin to uncage this emotion?

My inner muse is fiercely pissed
Angry that brain, is blocking emotions
From spilling out into the pages
Casting them skyward into the night

She’s spitting mad at the reluctance
Eager to release the trapped feeling
That dwells buried inside the fragile heart
Caged behind solid barriers

I’m raging a war within myself
Keeping ardent flavor at bay
Protected within a heart’s rib cage
Detaching the notion that it’s real

Gee
Grief, loss, death are mainly the times when my pen writes without struggle, these writes for me my "better"(better than average) writes. Because this the case I guess the less I write the better:)
Not being a reader of anything much leads to my very simple way of writing, never ever used a thesaurus or dictionary when putting pen to paper.
Being a terrible reviewer I read much of many folks writing but seldom comment.
I have read and enjoyed most of your recent posts and have enjoyed the lovely feedback you get from all that visit.

"I'm raging a war within myself."---Such powerful truths you speak with this...I often find it difficult to properly regulate my emotions, so I can understand the struggle of keeping it in. Wanting to tell someone, even if that means anyone who will listen. Writing really taught me how to sit in my thoughts until they run dry. Half the time, I'm never sure if my writing makes sense, but damn does it feel good to get it out on paper! Beautiful, raw emotions buried here. Thank you!

The creative part of my brain often takes on a life of its own. After I’m like how did that happen.. read more
There is nothing like the feeling of being emotionally caged in! You must explain to your muse that you are not doing this intentionally....sometimes emotions do get blocked within and come out as grief, sorrow, loss, fear....you are a prisoner within your own body and mind....so these emotions are flying everywhere, except where they should be....a struggle with your muse.... Nicely written
Warmly, B

Ahhhhh, I like this one! Writer's block? The trepidation we may feel baring ourselves upon the page? Provocative stuff.

Many time I fight what is wanting be written and what I want to write if that makes sense.
I love angry poems, they are so vibrant and visceral. Amazing word choice and punchy tone!

if I might be permitted to offer a few words of advice, I would suggest any uncaging should be undertaken slowly .. not necessarily with caution, but very slowly indeed and do try to maintain eye contact at all time .. then give a few wiggles here and there and a twist or two on the way down would most surely go down a treat ..
