Writer’s Block MAG
December 3, 2014
“Two wrongs don’t make a writer
Any better.” I can hear my mother’s nagging.
She’s the one who would push me over the cliff.
“You’re never gonna be anything.”
As she handed me a sweet bowl of strawberries.
The first scoop reassured me of my quivering potential.
The whirl of the breeze, the passing clouds,
Sweat dripping like cats and dogs,
As if a needle of adrenaline had been injected into my skin,
Yet no voice to say what to write.
