Not a line

DeadPoet SG

I am not sure why but I find it very difficult, maybe uncomfortable, writing about my family. I wanted so much to write about my love for my wife, the death of my grandparents, my childhood, my brother and cousins, etc. but no matter how hard I tried I just cant write about them. I am not sure why but I just freeze, nothing, zero, not even a line. The images are there but I just cant find the appropriate words for them.

Anyone of you have this problem? Rolling Eyes

Some words are best left unspoken .......

So some lines are best left unwritten loh ....... Laughing

Aiyah ...... it's just too personal to be shared lah .......

Imagine showing people your favourite piece of underwear

DeadPoet SG

Somehow I have to get over this problem. I am not sure if it is fear or if I am trying to suppress some bad memories but I think they deserve a place in my poetry. Wink

By the way want to try writing about your favourite piece of underwear? Laughing

I wrote a few lines and dumped the idea of writing.

Words are simply inadequate at times. Razz

edit: But maybe that's just my excuse for being lazy Mr. Green

DeadPoet SG

Don't know why, my mind simply black out whenever I try to write about them. My thoughts and emotions started to get all mixed up. I feel like crying, I start having cold feets, I freeze.

I dont know what the hell is going on. Confused

DeadPoet SG

What hole? Shocked

InnoHippo SG

when we write about our feelings about people, we are subconsciously affirming the feelings (can be good or bad).

i dont like to write about sad feelings because i wish they would fade away faster.

and sometimes, i doubt my happy feelings ...... sign of insecurity Mr. Green

MooKu SG

Say, why don't you try composing music instead of poems? Surprised

InnoHippo SG

DeadPoet SG
