The rain is whispering through the sky like so many tears shed, in a silent display of sadness. I find it refreshing yet it pulls at my emotions, unsettles my happiness and centre of being. Again I am thinking of escape from this place and a return to the places I relate to safety, security and friendship. I sometimes wonder why?
Then it passes and I go back to the rut, sinking below the surface of clutter I fill the void with. Internet friends and games, convincing myself I am happy with life. When I sit and evaluate things in the darkness. The glow of a cigarette occasionally beating back the shadows, it hits me and I realise. Happiness is a roundabout it comes and it goes, for the moment it is gone, but it will return shortly.
It floods into my mind, drowning my creativity under waves of negativity and doubt,
I pick up a pen and piece of paper, the images and words that would flow onto the paper don’t spill out.
Trying to force them doesn’t work, writers block is here for a while,
It scares me, my creativity disconnected like a lamp from the plug socket.
Doubt fills my mind, will it return? Do I need it? Did I deserve creativity in the first place?
I lay the pen down the ashtray is emptied and the paper lies blank, turning round and leaving the room. I switch out the light. I will see you soon my friend, but for now goodbye.
