A CALL TO REFORM

I said I’d show them

To not pounder innocence

People of creed dark past untrue

Bearing a name to which they respond

Yet foreign to its profundity

Meaning or history, they know not verity!

If ’twas revealed

Their name, how cursed be;

What would it alter to these?

Oh senseless beings!

Betrayed by blood

A scapegoat trampled

Youth stifled,

Will suppressed

O wretched souls

Divine escaped thee?

The world corrupt thee?

Repent! O pity!

SELF

Do not take me as the ideal person and

Do not put me on a pedestal because

I’m able to break your heart

Think of me as a human being

Capable of committing errors and I do

Then when you’re offended by my rude and

Negligent actions you won’t be surprised

I’m sensitive like you

I have good days, I have bad ones

I can feel down just as you would,

Depression follows thereafter

I can be very offensive

But the vapor of my affection

Could melt a frozen soul

WRITERS PEP TALK

The recipe for writer’s block is simple really. You are your own inspiration. Just start over! I mean to go back to your very old writings and posts. You know those full of errors, scratched out phrases, rough drafts, yes those. When reading them you’ll find you’re no longer there. You might not even agree with the wording how it was done back then but that was a stepping block to get you to where you are today. After reading a few of your own work, I guarantee it, you’ll have too many ideas to slow your brain down and your fingers won’t be able to catch up with how fast the thoughts flow from you. Try it. What have you got to lose? For days, weeks, months, years, decades you’ve been looking out the window then back at the laptop screen so long and your canvas is still blank. That’s not what you were aiming for, that white canvas needs your touch, your print, your masterpiece. Reach down within your gut from old writings frozen on paper so long ago and surface with a new version you thought was gone. You got this, seriously! Your brain is ready for a good scrunch. Hop to it! Enjoy!
