Life Beneath The Words At Play

The artistic barrier

My thoughts are clogged.

Writers block.

I try to force the pen to talk, but it won't budge.

Writers block.

I pay the pencil to draw, but it says I didn't pay enough.

Writers block.

I crumble the paper and unfold it in frustration because maybe something will happen if only I wait a while longer.

Writers block.

I want to express my art, but I can't when I feel nothing at all.

Writers block.

I try and try again to force something to come out of me as if I'm a machine.

Writers block.

I got inspired by my previous writers block that only lasted a few days, but that was also because I was stressed and busy.

I'm unsure if anyone can relate to what I'm about to say or not, but when I get writers block(this goes for more than just writing, like painting, etc.) it feels as if it's almost painful. I would get so frustrated, which in turn would make it even worse, of course.
I sometimes feel the need to finish something. Like for instance my goal is to make 101 poems for this poem book and I feel like I need to do it as fast as I can, even though that doesn't always in turn make great poems. I put myself under this pressure to make something, and in turn, I make nothing. I try my best not to do that anymore, but it can sometimes slip my mind.

Hopefully, you don't relate because it is very hard to be in that state, for me at least.

Have the best night of your life, and remember to not put pressure on yourself to be perfect because perfection doesn't exist!
