Writer's Block
To unknow the known so far out to sea...
Writer's block is nothing next
To the walls that jump
Up unexpected, mid-path.
Like if life had writer's
Block, but was a sensation
More like a crash.
...
I'm stuck, but should never be.
Whatever else, no excuse for me
To let this drop, and I'd give anything
To unknow the known so far out to sea...
...
Writer's block is easy, inconvenience
At the most and it always breaks,
But life's walls don't move.
They break me or they change me,
Redirect me or just blame me,
Leave me lost without a clue.
...
I never can just let it be,
Must find the fix for everything,
Get stuck and waste my energy
On seeking out some empathy.
...
I have my own doomed
Narratives. I require
No one else's
That drag me down
Into your world
Where only you are flawless.

Superbly written!!💕❤️❤️
This has an unusual pattern that I think I might just keep re-reading. Some poems are like that--they want to push you into unknown areas. I appreciate what you did with this and for me, it's still unraveling...
