I can't be a writer anymore

by S.J. Tyler

I need to write like I need to breathe
But I’m not letting go, I’m holding in a sneeze
Because all of the thoughts aren’t filed in place
In any order, for me to argue any case
I grow tired with each passing night
Staring at a blank sheet, no longer putting up a fight
Letting the barrenness take over my life
When the words should be flowing, like blood from a knife
I need a mental knife, something to puncture and pop
To let the words start so they won’t want to stop
I feel sick, I feel stuffed
My head’s holding more than enough
Except these words are useless in the forms they take
Maybe I should find a new kind of art to make
Because writing no longer feels like my forte…
