Shutting off emotions

When it all feels surreal
Keeping to the shadows

Trying not to make a sound

Striving for perfection
When everything is...

Writer's Block
I’m in the midst of writer’s block
I cannot find a way
Pen and paper in my hands
But no words can I say
Perhaps my mind has gone to sleep
It maybe needs a break
Time out from reality
Perhaps it’s for my sake
I hope to shift it one day soon...
