Writers Block

I used to think I had writers block 
because I don't write like I used to 
but I think back what was my reason for poetry? 
I felt so misunderstood and 
I just wanted people to get to know the real me 
back then I was a devout Christian 
and in between of attempting 
to live the holy & clean life 
I still felt dirty…it was rough
a hopeless romantic who was a victim of his circumstances but also his choices
I wrote to tell tales like 
I was with a woman I heard spirits speak to
I guess we can chalk that up to white noise 
I guess I had a story to tell feeling trapped 
as a young teen and poetry was my rebel yell

Hi Corey! I suppose we have all written a few verses to express our "feeling trapped" and at some point to express our "rebel yell." Enjoyed your poem. Give us some more!
