A Writers' Zen

By Stephanie Sideways

Muddy mind melds shy meekness into mute confusion

Emotions emaciated and encased in quicksands of unsure

Frozen solid, frustrated fury fights dirty with a frigid fear of self

Stifled silence of incensed solitude

Trapped by timidness , tangled with acute awareness

Dumb struck into oblivion, with one deliverance .....


A gaping hole
A endless pole
A tortured soul

Then

A tempered pen
Enter again
A writers' Zen

    I have never been able to express verbally my feelings, I am much better at writing a poem . you are as me, I feel that through your work.

    I like the alliteration and I feel the same way most of the time. But like Dan said as I get older I find I have become a better speaker I think you also become better at speaking when you believe in your message or you have found peace in yourself, sadly peace has never granted me much wit in the moment.

    We are slow and plodding thinkers and lack the gift of a quick wit on many occasions. It gets better as you get older, cheers!
