Why can't I write?

I wrote this poem because I've had constant writers block and I thought if i wrote about it I'd find the cause of it and be able to fix it.

I feel trapped,
Trapped by the boundaries of my mind, the boundaries of reality,
Why can't I write?

Why must my mind close,
Close like a vault unable to access it,
The shadowed tentacles of doubt continue to constrict me,
Why can't I write?

Does the doubt keep closing the tunnel to my imagination?
Narrowing the tunnel to my innermost thoughts,
A flickering struggles to illuminate the depth of my mind,
Why can't I write?

Even as I write I feel it grasping,
Unbearable constriction,
Closing,
Dimming, Trapping my souls words,
Why can't I write?

The distance of my loved one beckons doubt closer,
Sadness consumes me,
Cradles me into false comfort,
Maybe...
Maybe...
This is why I can't write.

She fills my thoughts and touches my soul in turn,
Just the thoughts and memories summon a smile,
And thus in turn the smile forms words,
Inspiration,
She is not only the reason I can write,
But the soul reason I do write.

Some people in a life make us create. Need those muses for the good and the bad experiences. I like how you expressed your desire and need.
"She is not only the reason I can write,
But the soul reason I do write. "

Nice ending their with "Inspiration , she is not only the reason i write, But the soul reason I do write," nicely done on this poem. It was truthful and so many people can relate to this to why at times they can not write and why in life they do write. This writing itself to came from the soul as touches many hearts and mind bringing thought. Anyways this is a good poem so keep up the excellent work and hope to read more.
