Ink of my Being

A dozen pens have here 

Been rested in my grip

This night

and none of them feel right. 

Try as I might to write, 

it pains me to admit, but 

I am afraid. 

The sprawling canvas of my soul

that I remember to be 

blossoming and sweet, 

it now feels cruel to me.

It's cold. 

It is cold and I am afraid 

to allow myself to spill 

with this ink. 

I cannot merge with words 

for fear of writing my soul

into being.
