lost in a shrug


Poem Artwork

Its 4 am and I feel like writing,
My muse is on my back & at my brain biting,
It’s time to write it says, it’s our time as muse-ual,
You’ve slept enough get your ass out of bed,
But little have I tonight slept, more did I read,
Maybe for this little writing to plant a seed…

I wish I could draw or paint,
Instead of feeling just pain,
My mouth from recent sawing does smart,
I don’t want to get stuck on the drug,
Then again I figure what’s the dif,
I’ve broken addictions before,
Of this one I can also off shrug…

But to write is as well an addiction,
But rarely do I have even close to good diction,
Mostly I seem to write in the class of fiction,
Most & many times I seem to get lost in contradiction,
Leading me to of my duty to write in dereliction…

To me writing is a good addiction. You are pouring your feelings out and letting the world know....it is sharing your philosophy on various topics and adding humor which you do often!

Always,

Deborah

You shine a light,
When you write,
In the darkest corners of your mind.
As the words illuminate,
it's surprising what you'll find.

Your Muse is shining these days, Ed. Writing isn't something we can choose not to do, as you said it too i an addiction. That old saying is so true. When asked why he wrote, the writer said "Because I have to."
