Losing it

Do all artist reach a point where they feel they lose there touch. I know one of my friends have. Im talking extreme artist block. Like nothing that works, that flows, is coming to you. Is it the stress thats been in me lately. Lots of things have been bringing me down. I dont wanna give up, Im not ready too. I love to write, its my freakin passion for God sakes. I mean God gave me this gift, so why has it suddenly gone dry. I just wrote a poem though. Its my first one in 3 weeks.

drugs? by me

Im gonna go for it

I dont care how this turns out

I dont care what people think

and now Its coming out

Ive been stressin too much lately

and Ive been trying to write for my baby

but what I had forgotten

is that I write for me

I write because I feel

I write to help me heal

I try to write when Im feeling ok

or when I have a good day

I still feel like Im losing it though

Like where did all the words in my head go?

If only I could find that path again

back to my divine inspiration

if he'd only tell me where to head

I wouldnt be at this dead end

for now I spit out these works of art

so they say

I think is pityful word play

I dont always mean for it to sound depressing, but poetry is my outlet. I feel more compelled to write when I cant sort things out. I will try to write more happy ones, but its hard. Especially when life gets stressful.
