I sacrifice myself each night to the pantheon but they want more - 7:47 AM

nothing  I write seems to appease the gods 

that I've signed an oath to pour the essence of my soul out to 

- it's stronger than pure opium -

the deities' wrath is emerging

and like scorching licks of flame

I feel it burning my flesh relentlessly.

they lash strikes of lightning as incentive

for me to deliver a gem of a poem,

for immortality and rejuvenation 

is etched in the words 

I let flow from my pen,

and the pantheon drinks it up like their best wine

but I'm still left gasping for air

as I struggle to create like I used to. 


an semi-elaborate way to say I have some kind of writer's block lmao.
