The Story Not Told

My writing feels insipid, uninspired

A jaded tone my writing voice has acquired

The reasons behind it I am trying to explore

Knowing that this has happened before..

*

The state of the world is chaotic at best

Uncertainties loom large, my mind cannot rest

Amid a heightened sense of anxiety, I am not

Able to generate coherent creative thoughts..

*

There are days when work expands to fill

Every available minute, and I cannot will

My overworked brain to brainstorm and ideate

With the result that good writing I cannot create

*

There is a story inside me that longs to be shared

But I cannot bring myself to do it, I am scared

Of exposing to the world my vulnerability

And that is extremely difficult for me

My writing is uninspired because I am trying to hide

The raw, authentic story that lives inside…
