dare to dream
they’d say to me
right before
they knocked me down,
left my dreams and i
bleeding on the floor,
left us on the harsh ground
to die.
you didn’t know
no matter
how harsh reality
is to me
and my dreams,
we won’t take cover
and hide,
waiting to die.
we’ll disrupt your world,
showing you you’re wrong.
showing you how strong
this girl
and her dreams
can be.
my eyes are darker when i cry,
a dark blue that speaks of pain
that my mouth is too afraid to say.
my eyes mirror what my soul feels.
they could see if they cared,
but they’re too wrapped up in
their own little world
to really give a damn
about the sorrow of a little girl.
So, I lie alone staring at the wall,
my eyes getting darker by the second.
Green grass on the roof.
Silver shingles on the floor.
An upside-down world.
Ahh, the dreaded writer’s block. The moment you put your fingers to computer keys or pencil to paper and nothing comes to mind. It’s one of the worst feelings ever.. Well, that and not feeling wanted, but that’s another story.. my personal life is very chaotic right now.. Anyway, writer’s block stinks, plain and simple. The question is, how do you deal with it? I mean, free writing, taking short little, cat naps, keeping a journal.. I’ve tried them all and they all worked to some extent, but I’m looking for something new. Have you discovered the secret? If so, tell us!!
In an effort to broaden my horizons, I would like for you guys to tell me what you would like for me to post poems or song lyrics about. I know, I know – the point of writing is to use your own creativity – as a friend once pointed out to me anyway, but some help, guidance, and suggestion is always nice to have 🙂
