Writers Block

The worst feeling in the world

is wanting to write

but not having the words to do it

This overwhelming need to put pen to paper,

and yet…

only a jumble of words bouncing around off imaginary walls.

No order, no sense.

Just chaos.

Like a dictionary that someone ripped apart and pasted back together.

Writing just to write, but not having anything to say.

I live like an imposter. To say to someone “Oh I’m a writer”

“what have you written?”

“Oh, nothing really…”

Do I count?

Am I really a writer after all?

I doubt myself

More so than usual

I’m a writer who wants to write

And yet…

I have nothing to say

My name is Brittany, and I'm 34 years old. I'm a veteran, a stay at home mom, a military spouse, yogi, and aspiring writer. I have two college degrees, a BA in Political Science and an MA in Intelligence Studies, and I'm working on my second degree in Creative Writing. I'm finally pursing my passion in life which is and always has been writing. I've begun sharing my poetry online on my blog site, and am working on setting up a public profile. I don't know what I'm supposed to write I just know I'm supposed to do it.
