Writer's Whispers

Afraid

It's cold here...

I like it here

I'm scared of writing poetry here

And posting it up there...

Because I've lost my emotional side -

I'm insensitive to emotional tides

And with no emotional pride

I fear my poems lack the sensitivity

That made me proud of my poem's poetic entity.

'''

It's been a while since I've written

'Cause life's been toying with my heart's beating...

Its beating deters my motivation

To spark a poetic creation.

'''

I'm scared of pulling out my pen

And opening up my mental den

Because I feel it won't bleed

In a way that makes a wordy feed

For the soul

That makes whole

What was once broken

Or bestows a token

Of understanding

Upon those landing

In a mentally tumultuous space

Where confusion and confliction hides behind their face.

'''  

I've been afraid of writing

Because a fear's been biting...

A fear that what I'll pen.

Will be a filthy fen

Of useless words

And zombie hoards.
