"On Writer's Block"
There Was A metaphorical needle and it aimed itself at my Vein.
It Hit Its Mark.  Did A lot of Damage, Drew A Lot of My Blood
Still Recovering, I find that I once again have lots of things to say!
That dreaded thing-that-must-not-be-named which prevents creativity
Is partly a lack of confidence, and a belief that nothing we could ever write
could be "good enough" (so-called).  But this is wrong.  If I want to write,
I should write, whether or not I am the "best" writer that's up to opinion
There are so many subtle virtues and gifts I Do Have, and I've felt awful
Like I couldn't do anything right, my self-confidence plummeted in writing...
But I'm distancing myself from harmful influences that seem "better" than me
Because, as I've said, EVERY poem is "Valid" and every poem benefits humanity
it doesnt have to be the most epic or "talented".  It just needs to be you and me,
expressing what we really feel, deep inside our hearts.  If we can feel safe enough
to express our hearts and our dreams in poetry without fear of being judged, so that
we always were "Good Enough" no matter what anyone said or judged, I could write
all the time.  Don't try to be the best.  don't hold back your heart.  Dont try to be
Something you're not, and never will be.  Focus on You and Your Heart, and how it feels
to Be Just Exactly Yourself, and Write about it!  And Be Happy.  Who Cares
What others may think.  I haven't sold a single copy really, and i've done my best.
So i'm just going to have fun with art and poetry, and be free in expressing my thoughts!
In Jesus' Name I Pray,
Amen!
