I Can’t Write Now

I Can’t Write Now

I can’t write now…the rent is due. I can’t write now…the bills are due and I can’t pay them all. I can’t write now…because nobody cares. I can’t write now…because my life sucks.

I found a way to pay the rent. I can’t write now…my ideas aren’t good enough. I juggled the bills and I will survive. I can’t write now…my thoughts are scattered like leaves in the wind. I reached out and enjoyed human contact. I remembered to breathe. I went back to my isolation. I make a nice espresso…I put on my favorite music and I sit down to write. I write what I feel. Sometimes I write tears, sometimes I write laughter, and sometimes I write dreams. Then I run again…I can’t write now.
