Unstuck

Sometimes the words are stuck

Only the alphabet

A new poem is hard

Because I can't feel

Causing frustration


Then I hear it

"You got this. You can always write. Just sit and do it."


What voice do you hear that encourages you, your mom, a lover, God?


I hear a voice

The crane on my arm

The Muse


And so I write,

Not always well,

Deciding the letters

Efflorescence of emotion

Figuring my place


Have a positive voice in your head, one that urges you on

Your biggest fan

Your ride or die

Your constant companion
