A Writer's World

I can't write happy because I'm not

I got a few problems

Some things just ain't right

A day gone wrong just happened twice



I can't write for fun because I won't

I have a mind, a soul and all to be damned a heart

Stuff that would make this fun,

Just not coming my way

But I'm anticipating the day

The Rays of the Sun kissed down on my skin



I can't write with glee because that's hard

I envy those who only have cheery things to say

They usually don't worry too much about.....

About anything, so I'll make an effort to remember that philosphy



I can't write playfully because I'm scared

Maybe I put too much effort or not enough

What if I fail because the effort was just too much?

Or was that just not enough?

It's sort of childlike the way I sound and the way I feel.



I can't write happy because maybe I just can't write.

So far, I wrote this and I don't know if it's any good.

But, it's making me feel 5 times better

All I know is the pen is flowing freely from my hand

As if its was a separate entity that out of my control.



I can't write hap-py?

Hi Shondrell, I just found your site and read "A Writer's World. You express yourself very well. I feel so many feelings from your poem. I know many others would too which is why your poem is so good. I have thought some of my poems were not saving and then someone says "oh it is good save it". This is what I think of yours... it is good... save them and please do write many more. I am looking forward to see them. John
