September 30th, 2012 (363 words!)


Writers block,
What is it?
Not just a loss of thought,
Or a not knowing ness of what to write,
But something else.
I can’t quite pin point it,
I don’t truly understand what it is,
Is it our inner child pulling the doors closed?
In order to make sure nothing escapes,
Not a single thought,
Not a whisper,
Not even an uninspiring word.
Or is it us holding ourselves back?
That we don’t want to think of something good?
Like we are scared of what brilliant words may flow out.
Why are we scared of being good at something?
Is it because we are afraid of failure?
What is it?
What could it possibly be?
Why do we use it as an excuse?
I get it now,
Writers block is no such thing,
It’s a lie we tell ourselves,
A tactic to keep us from trying,
To keep our greatness hidden from the world.
That my friends,
Is what “writers block” is.
