Where did all the poetry go?

The creative flow seeped through the floor.

Is my head empty-

or full?

My thoughts are embedded like splinters

needing to be dug out with tweezers.

These feel ripped from my chest,

a weight lifted and aching.

I stare at this notebook every day

The silence of my mind is too deafening

to sit

to slow down

to not be distracted

This hurts in a way I cannot describe.
