i call it .... the doldrums


some people say they get writer's block


i never get writer's block

even when i don't write, it is not writer's block


my head is still filled with ideas

tons and tons of ideas


its just that

i have the doldrums


i simply don't want to write


i don't want to sit in front of my laptop

i don't want to scribble ideas on a piece of paper


i

don't 

want

to

write


do i have a reason


i have many


no one reading my shit

is not the reason


i just don't think i have anything to say


even writing this is a chore

i don't even fucking know what i am trying to say


sometimes i force myself to write during the doldrums

and do i ever write crap


the poems are shallow and unfocused

no direction


my stories are loose and disjointed

and fucking boring


i believe sometimes

that by writing more

i write far less good shit


maybe there is no more good shit left in this old dude


maybe i have shot my load


fuck

i feel the doldrums coming on again
