And my pen refuses to budge…


My stares turn into frowns and my eyes glisten with anger but it still doesn’t oblige. I don’t seem to exist anymore…

Nothing I do seems to change its mind. It sits there all stiff and stubborn next to its partner crime- my unused writing pad…

The two have gather dust I see, an inch too thick to be called recent… not to mention the rusty layer which adorns the inky tip…

They seem raring to go but won’t move an inch…Why? - I ask myself over and again until it dawns…

They fail to recognize this workaholic who stares at them as if they were her own…

They eagerly await their owners return…

I too have been through something similar ..dont be too hard on yourself ..its always a cycle ..thats life ..you can never loose the intelligence and wisdom that you have..it might chose not to express itself at a certain point in time ..btw you write well .. I like the line in your earlier psot ..you write because it disciplines you ..so true !!
