The Block is Back

Submitted by Kassady on Wed, 07/31/2013 - 16:25

The Block is Back,
In the front of my brain,
Causing lack,
and head pain.
Though I read,
I'm still uninspired,
My creativity has fleed,
I've sunk, quagmired,
To the depths of numb,
That mind state,
Where you constantly feel dumb,
Like there's a huge weight,
Pushing you down.
In writers block I inevitably drown.

I am Ashamed to Say the Least

Dear Apricot Pie,

I am ashamed.

Guilty.

I would call myself a writer but I haven’t written anything for months. I am ashamed to say the least.

***

I want to apologize for being absent. I know I'm not obliged too, but I want to anyway.

Yes, of course I have my excuses. My brother broke his leg badly; I've been BUSY with school and organising homeschool activities.

The Lost Scribes

Dear Apricot Pie Family,

Long time, no write! Though I do note with a kind of self-congratulatory and nostalgic pride that "Ander" is still one of the most popular topic terms. :D Don't know who I am? Haven't read Ander? Mmmm....well, the first you should remedy, the second...Wait a few years. I mean, you can read it if you want, but I'm working on edits and such and changing, like, the whole first six chapters.

We're Going Places

A friendship is an amazing thing
At least that's what I'm told
And I think that's what we have
If I may be so bold

I hope you know that I've got
Your back at all times
And that we need each other
Like this poem needs to rhyme

In any circumstance
If an apocalypse occurred
I hope that you realise
I'd be on your team for sure

We should start a band
Even though we cannot sing
My voice and yours combined
Will be an interesting thing

Title-less

Everyone thinks I'm crazy
They're right. No one in
Their right mind has an
Imaginary friend

But it's a comfort to have
Someone on my side to
Talk to, even if they only
Exist inside my head

1. The Hunger
I was starving when you found me
Maybe that’s why I ate with such ferocity
Lapped you up with my eyes
Savored every bite with my heart
You let me in for a while
Then you made me spit you out
You knew it wasn’t right
And, in my hungry little soul
I knew that you knew best
