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
