HORIZON, 2020-21

When all I want is to write

To pour out the song in my head

Will I continue? I might

Until it’s time for bed

My stomach is now producing noises

It’s a call of hunger

But my mind, it feeds on these silent voices

That forces me to linger

‘Keep writing,’ they encourage without talking

I just cannot resist this urge

My anxiety is now nearing me, stalking

But those voices I cannot purge

‘Silence! I must go now!’ I tell those voices

Whilst typing these very sentences

But they have drowned out my stomach’s noises My

anxieties, worries and tensions

I smile at myself, proud of this art

Although it is also a waste of my time

But writing brings life to my heart

And I do not consider it a crime

Well, I really have to go

Since I have no energy to write Will I be back? Well,

you know Maybe, I just might.
