Guess I'll Shut Up Now

Silencing

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Sad to admit,

I am not in the mood

Lost the will and the wit to

Exude a new feud

Nerves have the better of me

Can't stir a sound, guess I'm screwed. I can't buy an

Excuse, so here's silence with an "ing"

For Funhumor

    Oh, Kelli I've missed you in my life. I took a short sabbatical from writing/reading. I love this entry and especially the silence with an "ing"

    'I am not in the mood', something I hear myself saying or thinking too much anymore, lol. Good one!
