I grabbed a pen
for it to turn to lead
pressing down into my hand
my fingers numb with the weight
​
All I want is to write
get these pictures in my head
onto a page as beautiful words
convincing passages
acceptable lies
needed truths
​
I grabbed a pen only for it to turn to lead
too heavy to lift
again, I'll get no writing done...
Lead Pen
Writer's Life Collection
Writers block born of depression.
Original inspiration holds not interest
Death of a muse makes it harder
to lose oneself in the music
pages pile up in your head
by feeling alone
but the words don't come
Can't focus on a paragraph
can't focus on a scene
can't

Blocks

I write because I can't contain myself.
Because I can't remember.
I write to not feel so strongly
To not feel so alone.
I write for myself, to prove I can.
For myself so I can escape.
I write for you, so you can
hear the words I can't say.
So you can tell when I'm not ok.
​
I write because I can't see myself doing anything else
Why I Write
Writer's Life Collection
A writers lifestyle must take a
backseat to reality.
And by backseat, I mean the
floorboard between the two.
And like toddler or teenage mischief,
You'll find it between the driver and passenger seat.
Eventually, we'll be found driving
driving reality insane with a plethora of ideas.
With a writers lifestyle
Writer's Driving
Writer's Life Collection
Is it really that hard to look at me?
Are you incapable of speaking to me?
​
Of my creations
of my ideas
of my dreams
​
I want your feedback
I want your praise
I want your criticism
Your realism...
​
I'm tired of wading through placations
I'm tired of drowning in a sea of silence
I'm tired of burning in rejcetions
Validations
Writer's Life Collection
What does it mean to want to be somewhere?
What does it mean when you look at your dreams
and you just...
wonder why...
wonder what then?
​
Why dream at all, what will you gain?
It's not a question of if or when you'll gain it
when you'll make it
​
But...
then what?
​
Why did you want it in the first place?
Aside from money, aside from fame, aside from prestige
What do you get for yourself?
Intrinsically?
How long does satisfaction last?
And is it worth it?
What Do Dreams Mean?

If you ever wonder why a writer is broke,
it's not because we haven't made it.
take a look at their bookshelves and how full it is,
how many hardbacks they have.
Look at their desks and how many unused notebooks litters the drawers, the cute and unique writing utensils lay around.
And don't even look at the caffeine receipts
