Jinxed by the Heart?
the words won't come
The words won't come ...
I sit and wait and want nothing more than to express
Share my thoughts, my desires in my words once again
Speak of things I hope
-
But the words won't come ...
Lost in darkness and thoughts of an abyss
Yet a light approaches ... they approach
Drawing near, nervous excitement builds
-
Still ... the words don't come
Am I done? Have I written all I can?
Had my allotment of creative outpouring?
Perhaps time to give up? Listen to that voice?
-
Why won't the words come?
'Maybe I don't deserve them anymore ...'
When will the words come back?
Am I jinxed forever more by my own heart's silence?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Sorry about all the typos I was voice typing
I really felt this. When I was taking Zoloft I went through four years of not writing and finally I said enough and have the doctor change my medicine and then the words to start it flowing like rivers.. it was the best thing I ever did for myself I!
Aw gosh I have those moments. You want to write. You want to SPEAK. But the words are just stuck.
Oh Saviiii, it breaks my heart to know you're having thoughts like this 🥺 I hope things get better for you
