Fatigue Snarls

Here I am again
staring at a blank page 
fatigue leaning over my shoulder
ready to snatch the words from my tired fingers

What words will I not write today?
What emotions will I abandon to the ether?

Every artist struggles 
as we balance creativity with capacity
and I find myself 
lamenting over all the words I have not written
all the phrases that escaped my capture

Fatigue snarls – 
its dizzying breath hot on my neck 
“I’ll have those thank you very much”
scooping up my thoughts and flinging them into the wind

There are many words I will not write today

  1. So relatable, Bree, thanks for putting this into poetic form. Also, there may be many words you have not had the chance to write – but there will be many more still to be captured by your beautiful writing.
