for the past week

I've held words hostage in my brain

I had the urge to lift the pen

but never did

usually it's writer block

that blocks my shot

this time was different

I blocked my own shot

to be honest I don't know why

maybe I'm burning myself out

with this obsession

the creative process is my drug

I've swept all these thoughts

under a rug

it's getting harder by the day

to keep these ideas hidden

it's ironic to me how problematic

your passions can become

it's ok to step away

I have to remind myself

I don't have to create everyday.....
