Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

There Are Days When

There are days when 
I feel overwhelmed by stress
Smothered
Like a grain of salt 
Buried in a pile of sand

There are days when 
Writer's block has me 
In a tight chokehold
Squeezing my neck, almost 
To the point of creative death

There are days when
I feel the fire of God's love
Burning so bright and clear
Within me
Illuminating my soul

There are days when
I feel like a masochist
Never quite satisfied
Or content, until I've suffered 
To achieve a goal 

There are days when 
I groan with displeasure
When my alarm clock
Goes off early morn
On a weekday
