Writer's Block

I have had this fear. It started as a rattle. I would rather not self-diagnose- worry my afro kinks straight. I let it pass breezily. In my room of metaphors I closed the door, shut out the attitudes of reality: Bold, beautiful, young, and restless. I wasn't mindful of her, She and you, or us. Our contact disassembling, just contract... tempers like daggers over lactose. "I'm unavailable!?" because you were penning soliloquies for the stage.

"I like the lines in my room of metaphors I closed the door, shut" I can relate to that problem sometimes. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
