Still Kicking

Or getting kicked, lol, not sure!

Hard to tell with all the madness going around if I am on top of my game or if I completely lost and have not realized it yet!

My writing time frames have shrink to nearly nothing, while I used to enjoy lots of time in front of either a notepad, sticky note, phone or computer and write, I now WORK, WORKKK, WORKKKKKKK! But, there is no progress without struggle, I read that somewhere and kind of stuck with me. Whenever I get to write, that becomes my little glimpse of hope!

maybe

not all is lost

maybe

not all is grey

maybe

behind the clouds, beyond the rain

there’s blinding light, great golden rays

perhaps

it’s all in here

perhaps

it’s all inside my head

the thoughts, the words, the stories

that I would build out of thin air

for all I know

last night I was void of inspiration

for all I know

there was no ink left in my pen

no story spoke to me, no tales I had to tell

and yet right now

amid the chaos, amid the madness

and yet right now

amid the insecurity and the deafening darkness

their voice thunders louder still

the musings came to find me
