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
