The conflication of emotions

Some new poetry for you to sink your eyeballs and mind into. You're welcome for that image! 

1.
Attempting to write again
much like trying to live again
to get the lead flowing
to get the heart pumping
pressure on the page
pressure on the chest
Attempting to write again
trying to live again
are the same things
                                yet different
to write again
to live again
one simply needs




                                                purpose

                

                and a reason
                and a want
maybe you’re my purposereasonwant
maybe you’re not
                but
                     for now
                                               
                                you’re enough for me

               
                                                                to write again.



2.
The pencil, long since fallen
stares sullenly silent
condemning its ultimate betrayer
the writer whose hands forgot it
and whose mind rejected it
rejection stings
                                even a pencil feels pain.



3.
Jumbled thoughts
conflicting emtions
shit. write plainly.
Happiness & dread comingling
in a confusing dance
Joy & fear sparring in the back
fighting for dominance.
worry for one thing
hope for another
neither giving way
neither gaining
locked in a bitter embrace
when time conspired to give joy
                                                it gives the other also
time gives & takes

                                often at the same…
