Daily posts – just too much
floods the inbox with such and such.
Readers think, “What is this crap?
Blah, blah, blah. She’s such a sap.”
Authors broadcast – Do Not Fear!
Put hands on keys, get butt in gear.
Heart loses faith in what I write.
Scared to hurt with all my might.
Who am I to think I can
make meaning out of when I ran?
Six days of posting on the clock
readers beg for writer’s block.
Words flow forth without me knowing
where a thought is really going.
Perfect phrases duck, hide, elude,
Tease my brain with rhymes quite crude.
Can I get those words just right?
Can I overcome this fright?
Not good enough, why waste their time?
Suess-like stanzas judged a crime.
Can I grasp them, stuck in mud
words of love, faith, joys that flood?
What is my purpose, my deep down goal?
To restore hope, to enhance the soul.
Feel called to write, not sure why
sometimes it feels like runner’s high.
Today I am not good enough.
Tomorrow’s new day won’t be so rough.
Nancy, I love your posts and I think you are very brave for sharing. I admire this in you. So, don’t stop and yes you are good enough and more!
Maybe I’ll just knock off the daily influx! Thanks for the encouragement, Megan. I really appreciate it!
Stop now? Really? I just came across this last week so keep running, reflecting and writing. To “enhance a soul” is very thoughtful.
Peace.
Thanks, Nancy. Peace to you always, too!
