Writing Anxiety

Where there once was heart and soul, now all had turned to brutal shadows of depravity – by poet Where there once was joy Now all had turned to pain Where there once was sunshine Now all had turned to rain Where there once was starlight Now all had turned to darkness Where there once was grace Now all had turned to shame Where there once was kindness Now all had turned to dread Where there once was hope Now all had turned to despair Where there once was faith Now all had turned to disbelief Where there once was inspiration Now all had turned to discouragement Where there once was gentleness Now all had to turned to coldness Where there once was insight Now all had turned to cruelty Where there once was music Now all had turned to fearfulness Where there once was dancing Now all had turned to marching Where there once was love Now all had turned to loathing Where there once was singing Now all had turned to whispering Where there once was silence Now all had turned to unruliness Where there once was pleasure Now all had turned to offensiveness Where there once was intimacy Now all had turned to distance Where there once was passion Now all had turned to excessiveness Where there once was magic Now all had turned to tedium Where there once was happiness Now all had turned to sorrow Where there once was expectation Now all had turned to a dead end Where there once was beauty Now all had turned to ugliness Where there once was writing Now all had turned to dialog Where there once was poetry Now all had turned to prose Where there once was words Now all had turned to thoughts Where there once was promise Now all had turned to contradict Where there once was laughter Now all had turned to misery Where there once was heaven Now all had turned to hell Where there once was giving Now all had turned to maliciousness Where there once was God above Now all had turned their back on love ''W'' New Poems Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Theme Word Number 9: WRITING November 24, 2021
