Jammed Gears

I don’t know if I’d call it writer’s block

Because I’m still putting out poetry

It’s just that it isn’t flowing

How it normally does

It feels far more jagged as it nags at

Me, making Me feel like I’m ugly

So, I don’t think it’s writer’s block, but

There is something jammed up in my gears

Making feelings especially difficult to share

Unfortunately

I don’t know how to reach up in there

To get whatever’s stuck and make sure it’s clear

So, I guess I’ll just stay stuck in this muck

Grinding out poems that make me want to throw up

’til hopefully whatever’s stuck becomes undone

And then I can, again, begin having some fun
