No Writing Today

My pen is so shaky
this ink is nearly dry
scratching across the lines
I`m just wondering,  why?

For strong emotions are felt
my heart is pumping fast
though I feel so alone
this state, I hope won`t last

The words don`t come easy
or is it, I can`t cope?
if that is the reason
not too sure there`s any hope

As poems are my life line
expressions of who I am
and if I`m unable to write
then I am just a sham

This feeling is unpleasant
I seem to have lost my way
struggling to let it flow
so I`ll rest my pen today
