Blocked…
For various reasons, I suffered writers block for around two years. I did write some things, but they were awful.
Part of the reason I write so much now, is a fear of stopping and not being able to start again. I need to be able to write.
I’m wondering how the words ever came,
how I wrote anything down at all.
Was that even me,
who always found a way.
~
My mind won’t help me out,
there’s nothing in my head.
Not a single idea,
to start me off,
not a line that I help grow.
~
Perhaps I’ll never write again,
for some a blessed relief.
But for me a gaping hole,
that leaves me sinking fast.
~
Without the words,
to guide me home,
I’m lost and all alone.

My heart sank when the notification popped up on my phone: ‘Phillip’s Substack - Blocked’.
What have I done?! 😱 I’m glad it was a false alarm. It got my attention for sure and here I am, able to read this masterpiece - because I haven’t been blocked. Boy am I glad on all counts.
Such an awesome Blocked 👏👏
