I haven’t been writing
Inside I’m fighting
The words all stopped up
Every step a stump
I get so angry inside
Unshed tears I’ve cried
I’m all crowded
The silent voices louder
I need to pen the paper
Now and not later
I can’t take much more
Naked and cold on the floor
Quietly, I viciously scream
When did I get so mean?
People no longer interesting
My faith I am losing
Used to love life so
Now I just don’t know
Seems I am killing myself
My emotions on the shelf
If I don’t write soon
I shall never again see the moon

Even this attempt is hard
But I must try this card
For I am jumbled
My life fumbled
What now I wonder
As words I ponder
Driving loved ones away
I long to once again play
