I am stuck in a rut
I can’t get out.
I am staying put.
I just want to pout.
*
Sunk in a mental quicksand
My mind remains neutral
I am mired; you understand
Lawd, is this just brutal
*
I need a good prompt.
To get me through
I feel like I have been stomped
If you only just knew
<^><^><^> <^><^><^>
Scratching out that word
Add more to that paragraph
Crumbled up paper
<^><^><^> <^><^><^>
Rubbing my forehead
Pinching the bridge of my nose
Inspiration gone
<^><^><^> <^><^><^>
The dreaming is gone.
No more fantasies
To be lost in
The blocking has come
And stolen
All the descriptive words
In a writer’s arsenal
Today I am through
But maybe tomorrow
The light of enlightenment
Shall shine through

The mental quicksand is so relatable! Hope things get better for you soon!
👏 ✍️ I think we all feel like that at times. I hope “the light of enlightenment will shine through” sooner rather than later ! ☺️
