Follow Through

Blank sheet, taunting me Daring the person I used to be To blurt it out, let words flow free But too deep into my insecurity I have drowned, no hope for me What happened to my pen and pad therapy My safe place, infiltrated by doubt Nothing from within, brave enough to come out Generic pairings of letters seeking clout Simple ramblings, who knows what they’re about Any ounce of approval, no matter the amount Rusty thoughts like the abandoned Tin Man Cobwebbed brain needing “oil can” Hoping out there is just one fan Follow through, girl, you made a plan

My favourite line is: "What happened to my pen and pad therapy" it resonates! I find sometimes the written word flowing from us is our closest friend and counsellor.

this is really deep and emotive, the language you used takes the reader to a dark place..
